The PB&J Project: Healthy Snacks for Young Stars

Free Friday snacks are part of the PB&J Project, Chef Tatiana's free snack program for young stars in pre-K through 8th grade. These guidelines keep Friday pickup safe, fair and easy for every family. Parents agree to them when they sign up.

When and where

• Fridays, 3–6PM, during the school year, through the last day of school in June.
• At Peace of Mine, 408 W 71st Street, Englewood.
• No Friday snacks on school holidays, breaks, or days the shop is closed. Changes go on Instagram and by text to families who opted in.
• One free snack bag per signed-up child each Friday, while supplies last.
• We text parents Friday morning. Reply to confirm and we'll make and hold your child's bag. No reply, no guarantee.

Who can join

• Young stars in pre-K through 8th grade. It's free, and no purchase is needed.
• A parent or guardian signs each child up once per school year. Siblings each get their own sign-up.
• Please tell us if your phone, email, or your child's allergies change.

Picking up

• Young stars in pre-K through 2nd grade come with a parent, guardian, or trusted adult.
• Young stars in 3rd grade and up may pick up on their own if their parent says it's okay.
• Give your child's first name at the counter. We check it against the sign-up list.
• A grown-up may pick up a bag for a signed-up child who can't make it that day.

Allergies and food safety

• List every allergy on the sign-up form, or write "none."
• Snacks are plant-based. Our kitchen handles tree nuts, soy, wheat and fish, and there's peanut butter protein powder at the smoothie station, so we can't promise anything is allergen-free.
• For young stars with allergies, we'll do our best to make a safe swap. Parents make the final call on what their child eats.
• Snacks are made fresh and are best eaten the same day.

In the shop

• Be kind to our team, our customers and each other.
• Walk, wait your turn, and keep the line moving.
• Toss your trash and take your bag to go.
• Young stars who aren't following the guidelines may be asked to come back with a grown-up.

Photos and texts

• We only post photos of young stars whose parent checked the photo permission box. Changed your mind? Email us and we'll take the photo down.
• Text reminders are optional. Reply STOP to opt out anytime, or HELP for help. Message and data rates may apply.

Your information

• We ask only for a parent's name, phone and email, plus the child's first name, grade and allergies. We never ask for school names or birthdates.
• We use it only to run the PB&J Project and reach you about it. We never sell or share it.
• Questions or changes: email [email protected] or stop by the shop.
