Our Mission
- Preventing hunger during the school day
- Educating the public on healthy eating choices and habits
- Providing all patrons with appropriately balanced meals
Our Vision
The School Meals Program, operated by the Department of Food and Nutrition Services, is an integral part of the School District. A hungry child cannot be educated and that is why our program operates each school day. The prevention of transient hunger is one of our main goals. While most popular fast-food restaurant lunches cost $5, we serve 2 million lunches a year for $3 or less, while paying for all our expenses with the money generated. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Over 6,000 students receive a healthy breakfast each day at school.
Food pays a crucial role in how our students perform in their classes. Food even impacts standardized test scores. Children who eat balanced nutritious meals learn better. It's that simple. Indian River County's School Meals Program provides a community service that helps make educating kids easier and more effective. Convenient, Economical and Healthy School Meals.
