Food Service
Welcome to the RSU1 Food Services Program
Did you know?
Every day all of our schools serve healthy and nutritious meals at no charge to all our students.
We offer fresh fruits and vegetables and local milk every day.
Our kitchen staff receives training every year- topics range from nutrition, food preparation, sanitation, and safety. Many of our cooks have restaurant experience and have years of cooking experience.
Our program purchases our food on a weekly basis from the same vendors many local restaurants use.
A message from the Director of Food Service:
I would like to thank you for trusting us to feed your children. As the new school years begins we are looking forward to seeing what exciting and different items we can add to our menus. In the past few years we have started using more locally sourced food and hope to continue expanding on that.
We make a lot of meals from scratch and believe what we are serving is as fresh and healthy as what you prepare at home. We would love the opportunity to provide your children with breakfast and lunch every day and hope to see their smiling faces in line as we begin a new school year.
Thank you.
