We believe that nutritious meals are fundamental to student success. Our school meal programs are designed to provide students with essential food groups like milk, meats, grains, and vegetables, contributing to improved diets and higher overall nutrient intake, as supported by research. By serving over 100,000 meals daily during the school year, we actively support student learning, physical activity, and overall well-being.
