Our Mission

It is our mission to make a significant contribution to the general well-being of each student and afford them the opportunity to fully participate in the education process by providing students with wholesome, nutritious and appetizing meals, served in a courteous manner, in a sanitary and pleasant dining environment.

This mission will be pursued in the most efficient and cost-effective means possible, and according to the regulatory and policy guidelines of the National School Lunch Act, Pennsylvania Department of Education, Philadelphia Department of Health, and the School District of Philadelphia.
