The average cost per scratch-made meal is $5 for non-catered and $8 for catered meals, not including ancillary costs.
- The cost mentioned only covers the meal itself, excluding any ancillary costs.

- Lorraine Cortes-Vasquez suggests that increasing the number of nonprofit commissaries could expand the availability of meals.

                                        Yeah.

                                        It's $5 for that's pure, just the meal itself, not the actual ancillary cost.
                                    
                                            
                                            0:46:31
                                        
                                        That's $5 for noncatered and $8 were catered.

                                            0:46:38
                                        
                                        If we had more commissaries, nonprofit commissaries providing those meals, That would also I'll expand the number of meals.
