Food and Nutrition Services help schools feed

healthy meals to children

According to the Food Research and Action Center, children and adolescents who eat breakfast (either at school or at home) are significantly less likely to be overweight, while skipping breakfast is associated with a higher risk of obesity. School breakfast also helps build lifelong healthy eating habits.

Food and Nutrition Services provide more than 20,000 meals to children at schools throughout Milwaukee every day.

Thank you Michael Best volunteers

We'd like to extend a large thank you to volunteers from Michael Best for their latest work to help our kiddos thrive.

The volunteers, through their Best Efforts campaign, coordinated the donation of several items to the kids and families in the Medical Daycare Program.
