Introduction

|
The Jefferson County Public School District has approximately 98,000 students in more than 149 sites. Providing safe and nutritious meals to the students of the District is a priority to enhance the educational process.
The Jefferson County Public School District's School and Community Nutrition Services Department serves an estimated 15 million breakfasts, lunches, and snacks to students and staff each year. School & Community Nutrition Services staff administer the National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs, the Child and Adult Care Feeding Program, the Child Care Enrichment Program, the Adult Care Food Program, and the Summer Food Service Program for the District.
In January 2000, the District opened a 68,000-sq. ft. Nutrition Service Center to provide warehousing and food-production support to all of the schools in the District. The Nutrition Service Center assures consistent quality of the school meals, while enabling schools to offer a wider variety of menu items and to better address pressing staffing issues.
Our bakery department prepares the cookies, dinner rolls, cakes, and muffins that are consumed by our students. In cook chill they prepare, soups, sauces and entrées such as, chili, spaghetti, tacos and beef-a-roni. The packaging and assembly area is the area where sandwiches and salads are assembled and packaged to be sent to our students. Our warehouse stocks over 250 items that are shipped to schools. We have a state of the art facility and invite you to call and set up an appointment for you, and your department, to come and let us show you our facility.
