The Burlington School Food Project is a food service and Farm to School program that connects students with whole, fresh, and local foods.
Feeding bodies, nourishing minds
We believe that all children should have year-round access to fresh, nutritious food — regardless of their ability to pay. When children are hunger-free and well nourished, they perform better in school, they’re sick less often, and they have fewer behavioral problems. This is why we work hard to provide the daily healthy meals and expanded food choices they need to succeed.
In addition, we provide a wealth of food-related educational opportunities within the Burlington School District, from school gardens and cooking classes to our popular high school program, Fork in the Road.
Providing an abundance of meals
Meal service is offered 216 days of the year: 177 days during the calendar school year, and an additional 39 days during summer months. We provide universal free breakfast and lunch and supper district-wide.
We offer free breakfast, lunch and after school supper in all schools.
