Service members and their families staying here at the base’s Red River Inn can enjoy the convenience of the Smart Start Breakfast Program, providing quick, healthy breakfast options to fuel their day.

The program — which commenced in May 2024 primarily within the Air Force at service lodging facilities — offers a variety of grab-and-go items, including fresh fruit, yogurt, granola bars, pastries, and beverages such as milk and juice.

Designed with busy schedules in mind, Smart Start ensures guests can start their morning with a nutritious boost before heading to work, training, or other activities.

“This program benefits our guests because now they can get something quick to eat instead of having to go across base to the dining facility,” said Robert Collins Jr., Red River Inn lodging manager. “We’ve had a good turnout so far with 17 to 18 people each morning.”

Exclusive to lodging guests, the Smart Start Breakfast is available daily at the Red River Inn lobby from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. on weekdays and 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. on weekends.

For more information, contact the inn at (580) 481-7356.
