What are some of the most popular meals?

For breakfast, our guests enjoy things like fresh fruit, cereal, and breakfast sandwiches. For lunch, popular items include pizza, pasta, fried chicken, fresh fruit, green salad, potato salad, and hot dogs.

To be in compliance with the Winnebago County Health Department Guidelines, we can only accept food as follows:

• Prepared in a kitchen that has a current health inspection and is supervised by a person with a current food sanitation license;
• Purchased through a restaurant;
• Store-bought, pre-packaged food items.

To secure a date, or have additional questions, please contact our Community Engagement Associate, Brooke, at cpengagement@carpentersplace.org or 815-964-4105 ext 203.
