A brief description of the sustainable food and beverage purchasing program:

Sysco Corporation distributes frozen foods, various canned and dry foods, fresh and frozen meats, seafood and poultry, imported specialties, and fresh produce. Monarch Dining’s sustainable food and beverage purchasing program is determined by where Sysco Corporation’s vendors are located.
