Food for All

We believe that food should be available to all students without question. We're working hard to develop models to make food available at school as openly as possible, while working with a finite budget.

We all appreciate the food that we are now able to provide for the kids. To see them eating a big salad and a hot meal is wonderful, especially because we know that they might not have access to those healthy foods at home. Many are eating a nice breakfast when they get to school and we all know how difficult it can be to get a teenager to eat breakfast. These things make such a difference in their day!

Our Vision

We imagine schools where all students can access and enjoy nourishing foods together, everyday. We know that providing food for all students is the best way to ensure everyone can learn and grow.

Our program is currently only available to all families in a limited number of schools. If your school is listed here, click its name (at left) to sign up your child. You will need the password provided by your school administrator.

During this first pilot year, we are asking parents to sign their child up for the entire school year, with the option to opt-out at any time and receive a pro-rated discount. By signing up, you guarantee that your child will receive a hot lunch, salad and occasional dessert at school every school day (175 days) from September 11 – June 27 (NO SERVICE THE FIRST WEEK OF SCHOOL).

Pay-what-you-can

A Flexible model

We are piloting a pay-what-you-can model for our program at Ruth King Elementary this year. The price per meal for us to prepare and distribute this food is $7 per meal. For the entire year, that works out to $1225 (175 days). There are 10 months of school, so we invite parents to pay-what-they-can each month.
