NOTE: We have moved to a temporary location at the old Hillside Elementary School, 28 Glen Gary Road, Needham, MA 02494. Please send any correspondence to the Nutrition Services Department (including Free and Reduced Lunch Applications) to this address.

Welcome to the website of the Needham Public Schools Nutrition Services Department.

Our goal is to serve a variety of appetizing, satisfying and nutritionally sound lunches in a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. We view the school cafeteria as a nutrition education experience, where we teach by example with the delicious and healthy food choices we offer.

Menus are planned following USDA guidelines, keeping health and taste as priorities. New menu items are introduced quite regularly, especially salads and new vegetable recipes. Nutrient information is available for all foods served (See Menus and Information on this web page).

The Nutrition Services staff are ServSafe trained and certified, and take pride in serving carefully prepared food in their clean kitchens. We hope you find the information you need to learn about our program for which we are very proud.
