The National School Lunch Program was established in 1946 under the National School Lunch Act. It provided that schools serve not only healthy meals but also safe, culturally appropriate meals that encourage students to make healthy selections. To date the program has served 183 million lunches across the United States and currently 27 million students participate in the school lunch program. At Crews, we serve over 1200 lunches most days, as well as breakfast to over 200 students.

One of our goals at Crews is to encourage our students-YOU- to make good, healthy choices. Our program is set up to meet your nutritional needs while you are away from home. The nutrition goals are based on the Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA). Breakfast meets ¼ of the RDA while lunch meets 1/3 of the RDA for protein, vitamin A, vitamin C, iron, calcium and calories for children. The meals served are based on the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, which indicate that no more than 30 percent of calories should come from fat and less than 10 percent from saturated fat. All food served is also moderate in sodium and sugar.
