Working together to feed kids a healthier future!

Whole Foods Market leads the way for providing healthier school lunches by working with more than 140 partners, affiliates and other supporters at the national and regional level, and by working hard every day to provide you with healthy, delicious lunch box choices that meet our Quality Standards.

More than 50 million school-age children live in the United States, and more than half of them rely on the public school lunch program. Together we can give each and every one of them access to healthy, delicious meals in the lunchroom.
