Staff safely prepare and serve healthy USDA meals to meet the nutritional needs of our students at our 20 Champ’s Café sites.  All schools serve both breakfast and lunch for free to all students as part of the USDA’s Community Eligibility Program or CEP. All 20 schools have a Team Nutrition group comprised of students who provide feedback to the Champ’s Café manager, test new products, learn about food safety and how meals are produced in a commercial kitchen.
