What kind of meals does Uplift provide to their students?

Uplift Education offers healthy meals every school day, featuring bright colors, bold flavors, and balanced nutrition.

Every meal is built to fuel learning. Our Child Nutrition Program follows strict USDA guidelines to ensure every child receives a balanced, healthy meal each day, with a focus on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins, kept low in added sugars, sodium, and saturated fats. Each meal includes a combination of food groups, fruits, vegetables, grains, proteins, and dairy, in portion sizes that meet the nutritional needs of growing children.

Menus are thoughtfully planned with scholars in mind. Our Child Nutrition Program menu planners attend food shows and run taste tests throughout the year to make sure we're serving healthy items scholars actually enjoy, and nutritional analysis is performed on all reimbursable menus to confirm federal guidelines are met. Scholars also have a say at the tray: Uplift follows the "Offer vs. Serve" method, which means the cafeteria lets each child choose what they want to eat from the selections available.
