Food Services
Good nutrition and learning go hand in hand.
The Nutrition Services department is made up of a team of food and nutrition professionals that are dedicated to student's health, well-being, and ability to learn. We support learning by promoting healthy habits for lifelong nutrition and fitness practices.
Meals, foods, and beverages sold or served at schools meet state and federal requirements which are based on the USDA Dietary Guidelines. We provide students with access to various affordable and appealing foods that meet their health and nutrition needs.
We are pleased to inform you that Elwood UFSD will be implementing the Community Eligibility Provision, available to schools participating in the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs for 2025-2026.
