create a healthy child movement

The FITzee team took a field trip to downtown San Diego, to visit the Monarch School. After given a tour of their facilities and seeing first-hand how influential their efforts are to so many children in our area, it was clear that the Monarch School was the perfect opportunity for FITzee to help create healthy children!

At the Monarch School, they have a “Healthy Bodies, Healthy Minds” program that enhances the typical food provided by the state, making it more delicious, well balanced and nutritious. Fitzee Foods is so excited to be donating 5 cents of every meal purchased to assist in this life-changing program.

Monarch School

Monarch is a public K-12 school dedicated to helping San Diego’s homeless and at-risk children break the cycle of poverty through education. The school provides them with an accredited education and enrichment programs as well as providing for their basic needs such as medical and dental care, food and clothing, counseling, transportation, and family assistance. Monarch serves more than 400 kids each year, ages 4–18, grades K–12. Monarch is a unique collaboration of the County and the Community—the SD County Office of Education and the nonprofit Monarch School Project, a 501(c)(3).

Healthy Bodies, Healthy Minds

This program helps to insure that Monarch kids receive the nutritious and well-balanced meals that will help them succeed academically. More than 50,000 Miracle Meals are provided each year to Monarch’s students through this program. Miracle Meals are the nutritious and appetizing foods prepared by our Food Services Cook to supplement the breakfasts and lunches supplied by San Diego County Office of Education as well as snacks for the after school program.
