Our mission is to eliminate barriers to accessibility of nutritious meals, engage all students in opportunities for nutrition education, and meet the daily nutrition needs of students to optimize growth and academic performance.

We provide access to high-quality and nutritionally balanced meals to more than 15,000 students daily across the district. We understand that proper nutrition directly correlates with academic achievement and performance in the classroom.
