Welcome to Child Nutrition:
The Mission for Child Nutrition is ~ To provide attractive and nutritious meals at an affordable price in a clean, friendly, and inviting environment for all students in New Hanover County Schools.
The child nutrition department is made up of a team of food and nutrition professionals that are dedicated to students' health, well being and their ability to learn. We support learning by promoting healthy habits for lifelong nutrition.
Meals, foods and beverages sold or served at schools meet state and federal requirements which are based on the USDA Dietary Guidelines. We provide students with access to a variety of affordable and appealing foods that meet the health and nutrition needs of students.
Meals will remain at no cost, for ALL children 18 years old & younger.
Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer (P-EBT ) updates as of Feb. 2021:
P-EBT is a collaboration between the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and the NC Department of Public Instruction (NC-DPI). The P-EBT program helps families purchase food for children whose access to free or reduced-price meals at school has been impacted by COVID-19. Families do not need to apply for P-EBT. Eligible families will receive an additional benefit on their existing Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card or eligible families who do not have a card one will be in the mail soon. The mailing address is the address on record at the student's school. Families are encouraged to confirm this address is correct with their child's school. EBT Call center 1-866-719-0141.
