Holyoke Public Schools food and nutrition services 

At Holyoke Public Schools, belonging begins with every student having a seat at the table. Through food and nutrition services, students feel cared for, connected and ready to learn.

Beyond the cafeteria, into the community

Through collaborative efforts like BiteScience, the Backpack Program and culturally relevant, globally inspired menus, we extend our reach beyond the cafeteria and into the community. Nutrition services are not just about food, but centered on connection, care and supporting a lifetime of wellbeing and achievement.

Creating connection through food 

Every meal is an opportunity to build belonging and support students well beyond the lunch line.

A commitment to nourishment

Committed to helping Holyoke Public Schools nourish students beyond the cafeteria, Sodexo at Schools supports every child’s access to safe, nutritious meals that contribute to their health, well-being and ability to learn. Food allergies and special dietary needs are accommodated, including a puréed meal menu for students who require medically modified diet consistencies. Through close collaboration with the district’s nursing department, all meal modification requests are reviewed and implemented to provide individualized support and ensure students receive meals that meet their unique needs.
