And Halifax County Public Schools_ Virginia are very grateful to be a part of the CEP (Community Eligibility Program) which means our students can eat breakfast and lunch free.

What can you buy with $4.70?

A latte. A bag of chips.

Or: a complete school lunch, meeting strict federal nutrition standards requiring fruits, vegetables, whole grains, protein and milk.

That’s right! Schools get just $4.70 to cover the cost of a lunch.

After paying for staff, equipment, utilities, supplies, and federal compliance, less than half goes to the actual food.

And every single morning, school cafeteria teams are showing up anyway.

💬 Share this if you think the people feeding 30 million kids deserve more than this.

💬 And share in the comments what did your team serve in your schools? Let’s see what you make possible!

The most regulated kitchen in your city is not a Michelin-starred restaurant.
 
It is your school cafeteria. And the people running it are there every single morning whether anyone notices or not.
 
That is what showing up looks like.
 
If you work in school nutrition, drop your school name below. We want this thread to be a map of every cafeteria showing up today. 💛
