Access to Meals
All meals during the 2021-2022 school year were offered to all students for free. School Food Service provided
over 8 million breakfasts, over 19 million lunches, and over 6 million snacks and supper meals this year. In
total, School Food Service served over 34 million meals to students. Also, the waiver provided by the United
States Department of Agriculture (USDA) allowed schools to provide grab-and-go take home snacks, helping
students remain fueled on their way home from school. This waiver also allowed more schools to participate
in the Supper Program as well.
In order to keep students nourished during the Thanksgiving Break, Winter Break, and Spring Break, School
Food Service provided pre-holiday meal kits. This was also made possible by the waivers allowed through the
USDA.
