The Rutland Northeast Supervisory Union is committed to providing access to quality meals for all students in the District.  RNESU has contracted with The Abbey Group to provide breakfast and lunch in all of our schools.  The Abbey Group follows the nutritional guidelines prescribed by the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010.  

Summer Food Service Program

Integrity Plan Statement

Summer 2025 Free Meal Boxes

This summer parents/guardians will have the opportunity to receive a weekly Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) meal box that contains 7 breakfast and 7 lunches. These meal boxes are for children 18 years of age or younger, and children may only receive 1 breakfast and 1 lunch per day. (If your child is enrolled in a summer program that receives SFSP meals, you cannot also receive a meal box.)

Sign up forms will clearly state that parents/guardians can pick up meals on behalf of children without them present and sign-up is recommended, but not required.

 All materials provided to families during the SFSP, including menus, flyers attached to each bulk meal, and other promotional materials such as robocalls and electronic communication-will included the message, "Free Summer Meals are for children 18 years of age and under, and children may only receive 1 breakfast and 1 lunch per day."  Signage of this message will be posted at each open site sponsored by the SU, and this will be communicated to parents and children by program staff.
