We’re excited to welcome your family to a new era of school meals! Community Roots School Food Services Agency, a partnership between eight local school districts and the Nevada County Office of Education, is proud to launch a fresh approach to school nutrition through California’s Universal Meals Program (Provision 2).

All students will receive breakfast and lunch at no cost—no need to pay for meals.

What’s new this year?
Community Roots is proud to serve scratch-cooked meals made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. This is more than just school lunch, it’s a transformative shift toward better nutrition, stronger local food systems, and meals students can be proud of.

We believe that nourishing food supports learning, growth, and wellness. With your support in completing the income eligibility form, we can continue building a program that serves every child with dignity, quality, and care.

If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact your school office or our meal services team at [email protected] or call us at 530-452-0980.

Thank you for being an essential part of this exciting new chapter of school food.
