Meals and Menus

Since the beginning of the pandemic, we have continued to serve meals at school sites across the district, prioritizing the health and safety of staff and families. Currently, 83 Grab & Go meal sites are open Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. – 2 p.m., for take-home student meals (breakfast, lunch, snack, and supper). Adults may pick up meals for students, and two days’ worth of meals are available at once. All youth in Baltimore City are eligible for meals at any of these sites, no matter where they attend school. On Thursdays from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m., free produce boxes are also available at many school meal sites. 

Find the Grab & Go meal site closest to you using this interactive map or the list below. 

Produce Boxes

Below is the list of meal sites offering free produce boxes at 11 am on Thursdays (funded by Baltimore City) – while supplies last – through the end of the school year.

City Schools provides healthy breakfast and lunch options to all students for free. Supper and snacks are also available at many sites. Take a look at the menus below to see what's being served this month. 

We are committed to working with school leaders to ensure our operations meet their communities’ needs. For breakfast, for example, some schools serve food in the cafeteria, whereas others allow students to pick up food on their way into school or eat breakfast in the classroom. Free supper and snacks are provided to students participating in supervised school-based after-school activities. 

With parental, cafeteria, and school staff cooperation, City Schools Food & Nutrition Services is committed to accommodating students with food allergies.
