Our Goal

Austin ISD Nutrition & Food Services are committed to providing nutritious, appetizing meals that promote health, well-being and learning. Equity and food access are important district values, and being able to bring fresh, healthy and sustainably raised food to students all over the city is our focus.

How You Can Help

Austin ISD cafés serve over 80,000 meals per day. Around 700 courtesy meals that meet the same nutrition requirements as menued meals are served each day, which equates to a cost of over $350,000 each year that is covered by the District Food Service Department. This campaign allows individuals to contribute funds to help bring student meal accounts current.

How the Process Works

If students exhaust their meal account, there is a grace period during which the student can charge meals to his or her account. Elementary and middle school students may charge up to three meals and high school students may charge up to two meals. In the event a student reaches the maximum charge limit on his or her meal account, at the beginning of the lunch line the student will be provided a courtesy meal that meets the same nutrition requirements as all other meals offered. If a student has already selected a remibursable meal by the time he or she reaches the cashier, food service personnel allows the student to keep the tray.

I'm a former teacher, and I worked in low income schools most of my years in education. I know how many of my students and their families struggled to afford their lunch accounts. I hope my small donation helps a kid or two be able to continue to get lunch.

I wanted to do something special for Lent this year and paying off student lunch debt seems like a small thing, but I know it means so much to the student who receives the lunch. Our children are our future and none of them should be going hungry.
