Students need healthy meals to learn. Orleans Southwest Supervisory Union (OSSU) offers healthy meals every school day. In School Year 2025-2026, all students will receive free breakfast and lunch at school regardless of household income eligibility per Vermont’s permanent universal meals law (Act 64).

Orleans Southwest Supervisory Union and its schools pride themselves on offering quality nutritional meals to our students at each school as participants in a number of federal school meals programs.

We partner with local food growers and makers such as Center for an Agricultural Economy, Burtt's Orchard, and Andersonville Farm to create community connections and emphasize fresh, quality ingredients on appealing menus. OSSU's Food Service staff is committed to providing tasty meals that power our youth for learning in and outside of the classroom.
