The COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect the nationwide supply chain. Disruptions are due to a lack of availability of raw ingredients as well as the labor to produce, unload, and transfer food products. Some food and/or beverages on our menu may not be available or arrive as scheduled. Due to unforeseen circumstances, last-minute menu changes and product substitutions may occur. Be assured meals will remain balanced, healthy, and plentiful. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we do our best to meet the needs of your children.

Wondering why schools are having more menu changes than normal this year? Learn more about the current challenges to the supply chain in this short informational video.
