Lunch and snacks are prepared daily, often times with students, as they learn where food comes from and healthy ways to prepare it.

Group meals are an important component of the Lumen Life experience as it brings our school community together to learn and practice healthy eating habits, sustainable agriculture and proper food preparation. We engage kids at every stage of the process – from gardening and making cheese, setting tables and chopping vegetables. We serve each other, have great conversations and clean up when the meal is over.

The LumenKids home is located in the new Amli building located at 715 Chicago Avenue in Evanston, Illinois. Our space includes a group meeting area, bathroom, kitchen and dining area which is used for gatherings and lunch.

The building has a state-of-the-art fitness gym, business center and several public lounge areas. The nearest public transit station is the South Boulevard or Main Street Purple Line. A CTA bus stop servicing bus #205 is also within walking distance.

The Amli building has achieved Silver LEED certification. From recycling and diverting 75% of waste to electric car charging stations the Amli building is leading the charge in sustainable living & office space. Amli is a BreathEasy smoke-free environment.
