Operator reports Superama restart, new 'take-and-make' orders and $538.57 net income
Summary
Program operator Barb reported restarting the Superama and launching a preorder 'take-and-make' program, selling New Year's boxes and Valentine's Day items at about $25 per box and recording a $538.57 surplus for the period discussed.
Barb, a staff member, told the committee that the Superama food service has restarted and the program launched a new “take-and-make” preorder option available any day of the week with about 10 items that can be ordered two days ahead.
Barb said the program sold New Year’s Eve boxes designed to feed two people; some customers ordered two boxes. The boxes were sold for about $25 each. Barb said the staff plans to rotate menu options to avoid repetition and that they plan Valentine’s Day boxes as well.
Committee members discussed program usage and reimbursement. A committee member noted expenses for the period were low and asked about income; the transcript records a net positive of $538.57 for the period presented, with one comment summarizing the result as “$535 to the good” and a later precise figure of $538.57.
Committee members also asked about interaction with nearby apartment residents and whether they were coming over to purchase food. Barb said she believed some people were, and the group discussed coordinating translation services; a committee member suggested contacting Tanya at Health and Human Services about a translator.
Barb thanked committee members for patience and said staff hope students and staff will return and increase purchases. The transcript does not specify longer-term budgetary commitments or external funding tied to the Superama program.
