Cabell County Schools recognize a relationship exists between nutrition, physical activity, and learning. Healthy eating and activity patterns are essential for students to achieve their full academic potential, full physical and mental growth, and lifelong health and well-being. 

The district is extremely proud to participate in the USDA Community Eligibility Provision (CEP). This program expands the reach of the district's investment in the School Nutrition Program and, as a result, the district is able to offer free breakfast and lunch to all students, regardless of income.

The Food Services Department also provides free snacks and even dinner for many afterschool programs and activities, as well as free meals delivered to community sites countywide as part of the Summer Food Service Program.

About Us

Cabell County has over 120 food professionals serving healthy, nutritious meals every day in each of our schools. Our students have access to free breakfast and lunch every day. Cabell County follows the National School Lunch meal pattern, with meals consisting of the following components: protein, grains, fruits, vegetables and milk. We are proud to promote our Farm to School initiative. When we buy fresh, local produce and West Virginia raised beef, we put a superior product on the lunch tray while supporting the local economy.  

Goals

• Schools will take every measure to ensure students have access to foods and beverages that meet federal, state and local laws and guidelines.
  
  
• Each school will have a wellness coach and wellness committee to facilitate wellness events for students and staff.
