Thank you for showing up for your students everyday!

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!

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. 💛
