After-School Program Meals in Vancouver

After-school programs run from 3 PM to 6 PM, and hungry kids need real food — not just granola bars and juice boxes. The Storm Cafe delivers hot, balanced meals to after-school programs across Metro Vancouver, timed to arrive when students need a proper dinner before heading home.

After-School Meal Options

• Mini Bento Box — rice, chicken teriyaki, steamed veggies, and a fruit cup
• Noodle Bowl — udon or egg noodles with vegetables and choice of protein
• Rice & Curry — mild Japanese curry with chicken and potatoes over rice
• Snack + Meal Combo — an afternoon snack (rice balls or dumplings) plus a hot dinner at 5 PM

Timing Matters

We deliver to after-school programs in two waves:

• Snack delivery: 3:00 – 3:30 PM (light bites to tide kids over)
• Dinner delivery: 4:30 – 5:00 PM (hot meal for programs that run until 6 PM)

Programs We Serve

We work with community centre programs (Renfrew, Killarney, Dunbar, Kerrisdale), Boys & Girls Clubs, school-run extended day programs, and private after-school tutoring centres. If your program feeds 10 or more kids, we can set up regular delivery.

Easy Ordering for Program Coordinators

Use the Catering Quote Tool to estimate costs. We offer flexible billing — weekly invoicing, monthly invoicing, or parent-paid individual orders through our portal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can parents opt their child in or out each day?

Yes. We can set up a parent ordering system where each family selects meals for their child weekly.

What about kids with allergies?

Every meal is allergen-labelled. We accommodate nut-free, dairy-free, gluten-free, and halal requests.

What is the minimum order?

10 meals per delivery. Most programs order 15–40 meals per session.
