Healthy Meals Incentive Grantee

Farm to School and Scratch Cooking!

With our Action for Healthy Kids Healthy Meals Incentive Grant, our district was able to purchase two new walk-in fridge/freezer combo outdoor units for Hofstetter and Fort Colville Elementary Schools. These new walk-ins will allow our Nutrition Services team more space to store locally purchased ingredients as well as prepare more scratch made meals in advance.

Our district transitioned to Farm to School procurement and scratch made meals during the 2022-2023 school year and we continue to improve our menu and purchase more locally when possible. We're focused on bringing our student nutritious, locally-sourced scratch meals they will enjoy, while also following the USDA nutrition guidelines.

During the 2023-2024 school year, our Nutrition Services Department was awarded three Healthy Meals Incentive Awards and we plan to work towards earning another three during the 2024-2025 school year.
