The New York City Department of Education is the largest system of public schools in the United States, serving about 1.1 million students in over 1,700 Department of Health visited schools.

SchoolFood serves around 850,000 meals to these students each school day. Of these, over 700,000 meals are provided at no charge to the students or their parents. To find out if your child qualifies, simply apply for free or reduced-price meals.

Over the past decade, SchoolFood has made tremendous strides in improving the nutrition and taste of our meals. We are committed to promoting healthy food choices among our students and maintaining high nutritional standards while offering delicious and satisfying menu choices.

We invite you to explore our website to learn more.

STUDENT PARTNERSHIP MEETINGS:
SchoolFood’s Partnership Meetings support the New York City Department of Education’s Wellness Policies on Physical Activity and Nutrition. These policies are aligned with the Obama administration’s goal of ending the childhood obesity epidemic within a generation.

The Partnership Meetings have been a viable platform for our school based managers to interact within the school community. Hosting these personalized, cyclically scheduled meetings allow us to hear student and administration opinions-enabling us to enhance our school meals programs, enrich operational performance, and develop organizational goals.

URBAN SCHOOL FOOD ALLIANCE:
The New York City Department of Education, along with the Los Angeles Unified School District, Chicago Public Schools, Dallas Independent School District, Miami-Dade County Public Schools, and Orange County Public Schools in Orlando have partnered to form the Urban School Food Alliance. The joint venture will allow the school districts to leverage purchasing power from food providers to secure lower costs.

The ultimate goal is to offer public school students healthy and delicious meals while keeping food costs low. Collectively, the Alliance corresponds to approximately 2.9 million daily lunches – of which 860,000 are served in New York City. Although costs for food throughout the country are rising, the Urban School Food Alliance will help school districts control costs by buying food in large quantities while still offering students nutritious menu items.

PARTNERS:
The Office of SchoolFood has fostered successful strategic partnerships throughout New York City, State, and across the Country. Our list of partners ranges from business industries, associations, not-for-profit organizations, colleges, universities, and school districts. Our collaborations contribute high-level expertise, comprehensive resources, and targeted activities. These efforts bring about improved quality, service, and satisfaction with our school meals program for New York City students.

Dinner at Black & Blue Steak and Crab

3349 Monroe Ave,

Rochester, NY 14618
(585) 421-8111

A “new” style of American steakhouse, a twist on the old classic. It’s not just about our great steaks at b&b, something we obsess about. What also sets us apart is our family owned fish & seafood company in St Petersburg Fla, where we are able to hand pick and ship the freshest gulf seafood available. It touches no purveyors, and no middle-men on the way to you; from the boat to black & blue.

Good News Gets HOT tasting the sauce. It grows on you….

– The Livingston Diner at 372 Livingston Street in Brooklyn is a fantastic place to eat for anyone seeking excellent food without reaching too deep into their pockets. The atmosphere is great for any type of gathering from big groups to a quiet lunch alone.

They also offer free delivery to the Metro Tech, Brooklyn Heights, and Fort Greene areas. The head chef Julio is a wonderful person and cook who just want his customers to be happy. They serve food for whatever type of mood you’re in, breakfast, lunch and dinner at all times of the day.

The big announcement coming from the diner is that they just came out with an all new Mexican food menu on top of their already plentiful original. This includes tacos, burritos, nachos, quesadillas, wraps, and a plethora of side dishes. This fine eatery is a go to place for the Good News team and if you haven’t been there yet, it is an absolute must!
