J.J. Snacks Corp. was founded by Shantel Nubian, a STEAM Educator and community organizer who resides in New York City. As an educator who has taught over 1000 students in over a dozen schools in the past ten years, she noticed that more affluent schools had more resources and amenities such as vending machines and microwaves in their lunchrooms. In contrast to the other under-resourced schools did not have any vending machines, Ms. Nubian notices students would often arrive late or sneak out of schools to get something to eat.
Since 2022 J.J. Snacks Corp has been on a mission to provide schools with a no-cost/ worry-free solution of vending machine services. Our vision is to provide healthy and tasty eating options for students and staff while also giving back to the community.
7 BENEFITS OF VENDING MACHINES IN SCHOOL
1) Schools Can Encourage Healthy Eating Habits
With J.J. Snacks Corp. Your school has the power to control what goes inside the vending machines. Our machines can be customized to offer healthy snacks, such as 100% fruit snacks, granola bars, Lay’s Baked! Chips, wheat crackers, etc. Vending machines can also provide healthy drinks, such as 100% fruit juices, and water to replace soda.
2) Ensure Students Don’t Go Hungry Between Meals
Having vending machines at school helps students who might not have gotten a chance to eat lunch or breakfast. This helps ensure that students do not go hungry during the day and focus on their studies rather than being distracted by thoughts of food. Having vending machines can ensure that children stay healthy, focused, and energetic throughout the school day so they can learn the best that they can.
3) BOOSTS EMPLOYEE MORALE
- Teachers: Your teachers can use a vending machine to get snacks between classes or coffee for grading sessions without having to leave the campus.
- Guest speakers and substitute teachers: With the right vending machine, temporary staff and paid guests will view your campus as a welcoming place with modern amenities.
4) GIVE 'PICKY' STUDENTS EATING OPTIONS
For students who may be allergic to the lunch options of the day or who do not like their food choices at lunchtime, our vending machines give them the opportunity to have more food options available at school.
5) PROVIDE SNACKS FOR AFTER-SCHOOL ATTENDEES
6) Provide Study Tools
Another benefit of vending machines in schools is that they can provide study tools like notebooks, pens, pencils, calculators, and so on. Since schools don’t provide students with these items, bringing it from home can be a hassle. Having these items readily available at school is advantageous for students because they will not forget any of the necessary study materials and save time by not having to go out and buy them.
