Our Breakfast Program
While our breakfast foods are not scratch made, they meet all USDA requirements. Our cold breakfast features low-sugar cereal and fruit bursting with vitamins and energy.
Our Lunch Program
The meals at Starling International are made from scratch each day using fresh, local produce and whole grains. You won't find processed foods or pre-made frozen items here. Our stocks and sauces are all made from scratch using wholesome raw ingredients. Our partner, The Underground Kitchen Community First, makes chef-made meals in a commercial kitchen and delivered hot each day, right here in Richmond. Our food is culturally aware, and we always have a vegetarian option
Our Super Snack
Some Elementary Schools have lunch as early as 10:30am, and kids need more than a snack to make it through the afternoon. At Starling, we provide a full-course meal for children each afternoon. The extra nutrients ensure that these children have enough energy to have plenty of fun and learning throughout the afternoon.
Our Vegetarian Option
This center offers meat-free breakfasts, lunches and snacks. Meat alternatives like cheese, beans or yogurt are used instead. This vegetarian option is provided free of charge.
