Meal Plans Designed for You
Meal Plans Designed for You
We believe food is a vital part of college life. A meal with friends doesn’t just nourish the body, it builds lasting relationships and feeds the soul. We LOVE food, so we cook it from scratch. It’s our passion to create delicious food that suits every need and taste. Vegan, Flexitarian, or Gluten-Free? We’ll have options for you every day.
Our meal plans are designed with flexibility in mind. Students can use their meal plan as their schedules allow and can swipe up to five times in one day. Students can transition from one plan to another eligible plan.
Swipe-It-Forward
Like many college campuses across the nation, Emmanuel College faces the problem of food insecurity – the infrequent access to nutritious food – within its student body. In order to begin addressing this issue, a collaboration of students, faculty and staff have developed the Swipe-It-Forward program. This program enables students, faculty and staff to “donate” meals, making them available for students in need.
Eat Right — For You
Wellness
When it comes to wellness, Bon Appétit’s focus is on simple, delicious food — that happens to be good for you. To support long-term health, we are bringing more plants to menus every day in a craveable way, while emphasizing healthy cooking techniques. When healthy food tastes good, nourishing your body and mind becomes the easy choice.
Food Allergies
We serve thousands of guests with food allergies and sensitivities safely in our cafés every day. Our chefs, managers, and dietitians work closely with our food-allergic guests to create reasonable solutions to help them eat what they love. If you have questions about eating for your dietary needs in our cafés, reach out to us: we’ll gladly meet with you.
Sustainability
Wellness also includes the health of the animals, the workers, the community, and the Earth. They’re all connected. Bon Appétit has been committed to “food service for a sustainable future” for decades, and we’ve led the food service industry in tackling many important issues, such as cage-free eggs, antibiotics in animal production, and farmworker rights.
