A MESSAGE TO PARENTS & STUDENTS

The Food Services Department at Anderson Union High School District believes that good nutrition, along with a healthy active lifestyle go hand in hand with the ability to learn. Well nourished students have higher test scores, increased school attendance, improved concentration, and improved classroom behavior. Students who are physically fit, sleep better and are better able to handle the physical and emotional challenges that they encounter during the day.
 
Our Nutrition Services Department is made up professionals that are dedicated to your students health and well being. We support learning by promoting healthy habits for lifelong nutrition and fitness practices.
 
We provide students with access to a variety of appealing entrées alongside a variety of delicious fruits and vegetables daily.
Anderson Union High School District provides nutritionally balanced breakfasts and lunches daily by following the guidelines of the National School Lunch Program and the School Breakfast Program. Our Nutrition Services Department is committed to serving your student.

CalFresh

CalFresh, known federally as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program or SNAP, provides monthly food benefits to individuals and families with low-income and provides economic benefits to communities. CalFresh is the largest food program in California and provides an essential hunger safety net. CalFresh is federally mandated and in California, is state-supervised and county-operated.

CalFresh benefits can help buy nutritious foods for a better diet. CalFresh benefits stretch food budgets, allowing individuals and families to afford nutritious food, including more fruit, vegetables and other healthy foods. The amount of benefits a household receives is dependent on household size countable income, and monthly expenses, such as housing and utilities. The program issues monthly benefits on an Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card. Food may be purchased at any grocery store or farmers market that accepts EBT cards.

Many school districts in Shasta County are pleased to offer free meals to all children 18 years. Most serving locations are open to the community, meaning you do not need to be enrolled in the school in order to obtain a meal at that location. It is required that childred consume meals on site.
