We are continuously looking for ways to effectively address food insecurity in our community by ensuring every child has access to nutritious meals throughout the school year and beyond. We strive to use as many local vendors as possible for our fresh fruits, vegetables, proteins, milk and dairy. We have our own Production Kitchen with professional chefs and bakers that produce many of our proteins, entrees, condiments and breakfast items such as muffins and oatmeal bars! During the school year, we serve over 11,000 meals per day at 25 schools across Chico.
