Welcome to the CORE!

Our Story

The SLA Way

For 20 years we have been serving children and young adults high quality school meals every school day.

 

We love what we do,

We are proud of what we do,

And we believe we are making a difference.


For many of the children and young adults, the meals we serve are the only food they are getting every day. Our goal is to provide these young people a positive and uplifting meal experience every single day.  It is a job requirement. If you have it in your heart to excel and to make a difference you can excel in the SLA family. Your staff associates are living proof that if you have heart and ambition, you can advance and improve your life.  We hope for that for every associate in our company.

 

We ask that you take ownership in your role, to execute with pride at all times.  Learn your craft.  Your meal trays are a testament to what we stand for.  We will teach you, we will shepherd you. Scoreboard does count.  Play to Win.  Have fun and make a difference.
