Memphis - Shelby County Schools Nutrition Services

Memphis - Shelby County Schools Nutrition Services The Division of Nutrition Services is responsible for all District cafeterias. Nutrition Services is also on the forefront of the Farm to School movement.

The Division of Nutrition Services is responsible for all District cafeterias, from the acquisition of food, supplies and equipment to the preparation and serving of nutritious breakfast and lunch meals to 110,000+ students on a daily basis. Nutrition Services plays an important role in supporting the educational achievements of students, as 'you cannot teach a hungry child'. We strive to serve appealing, tasty, and nutritious meals in a pleasant atmosphere at an affordable cost. Farm to School connects schools (K-12) and local farms with the objectives of serving healthy meals in school cafeterias, improving student nutrition, providing agriculture, health and nutrition education opportunities, and supporting local and regional farmers.

Memphis is a national success story! 🎉 World Wildlife Fund's 2026 Food Waste Warriors report just dropped, and Clean Memphis' work is featured as a success story. Here's what our students have built since 2019:
🍎 Fourth graders run two-day wasted food audits in their own cafeterias
📊 They analyze the data themselves with Clean Memphis teachers
📣 Then they design poster campaigns to convince their classmates
The results are measurably less plate waste and less unopened milk in the trash, with more than 1,200 pounds of healthy food shared with Memphis students in one year

And from Mayor Paul Young in the report: "Clean Memphis and Project Green Fork are teaching our young people about wasted food and are helping them make choices that benefit their community... This work is helping build a more sustainable Memphis and raise more compassionate young people."

We're sending a HUGE "thank you" to Memphis - Shelby County Schools Nutrition Services, and to every principal, teacher, and cafeteria staffer who makes this work possible!
