The Anoka-Hennepin School District is participating in the Summer Food Service Program provided by the United States Department of Agriculture.  Meals will be provided to all children ages 2 - 18 without charge and are the same for all children regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability, and there will be no discrimination in the course of the meal service.  Meals will be provided at the sites and times listed below, and must be eaten at the site. 

All children are welcome at any site;  it is not necessary for the child to attend school at the host location.  Adults may purchase meals with correct cash/change. (No checks, credit, or debit cards.)  Adult meal prices are $3.50 for lunch or brunch, $2.00 for breakfast, and $1.00 for snacks.

Anoka-Hennepin School District - Sites Open to All Children Dates, times, and meals available vary by site, but are closed July 4 & 5. Click here for a list of sites. For more information contact the Child Nutrition Programs Office at 763.506.1240

Free and reduced meal eligibility must be renewed each school year. Free and reduced meal applications for the 2013-14 school year will be mailed to families registered for school in late July. The online application will be available on this website in late July.

Some families that receive MFIP or Food Support are directly certified to receive free school meals by the MN Department of Education. Families that are directly certified will receive a letter from the Child Nutrition Program indicating that the children listed in the letter are approved for free meals. This letter will be sent instead of an application for free or reduced price meals.

Any Anoka Hennepin family that does not receive an application by August 9th and wishes to complete a paper application can call the CNP Office to have an application mailed. Paper applications will also be available in schools at the end of August.

Applications for Free and Reduced meals may be completed anytime during the school year.  If you believe that your family income may be within the guidelines for the program, or household circumstances changed since you completed a form, you may request an application from your school or from the school district's Child Nutrition Program Department by calling (763) 506-1240 or apply online.

Our Purpose
The Child Nutrition Program is dedicated to providing high quality, nutritious meals to the students in the Anoka-Hennepin School District so they can learn and develop for their future. Our department's services include breakfast, lunch, Adventures Plus snack programs, day care meals, catering and other snacks and meals as needed.

How Meals are Planned
All student meals must meet the federal guidelines for types and amounts of food offered. In addition, they must be appealing to students so they are consumed. A departmental advisory committee consisting of staff from elementary, middle and high schools and a department administrator, plus student focus and advisory groups all contribute to menu developement and product choices. Menus are reviewed and adjusted periodically to reflect changing customer tastes and new products. Nutritional information for menu items can be found at the district's Web site.
