Food Service Department
Summer 2025 Food Service
Lake Shore children will continue to benefit from free, healthy, and nutritious meals during the summer months in 2025, the Michigan Department of Education (MDE) announced.
🍎 Starting this week, Food Distribution continues with our participation in the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP), a governmental program ensuring that children could continue to receive nutritious meals during long school vacations, when they do not have access to the National School Lunch or School Breakfast Programs. The SFSP, also known as Meet Up and Eat Up, is operated at the local level by program Sponsors and is administered in Michigan by the Michigan Department of Education (MDE), Office of Health and Nutrition Services.

The Meet Up and Eat Up Summer Food Service Program serves children up to age 18.
“There is a vital need to reach out to the state’s most vulnerable young people to provide nutritious food,” said State Superintendent Dr. Michael F. Rice. “MDE remains committed to leveraging every available option to feed more children during the summer.”
For many students, the cafeteria is the first stop on their school journey. From that very first walk through the lunch line, our heroes are focused on more than just nutrition—they care deeply about each child's well-being. Their priorities include keeping students safe, making them feel welcome, and serving up meals that are both nourishing and delicious.
Free Student Meals for the 2024/25 School Year
Lake Shore Public Schools offers free breakfast and lunch to all students thanks to the Michigan School Meals Program! Even though meals will be provided for free, it is vitally important for families to continue sharing household income information for all our schools in the district to receive full access to federal and state funding for educational programs that our students are entitled to. EVERY Education Benefit Form (EBF) COUNTS! Every EBF that is not submitted means lost educational programs and resources for our students. Filling out the EBF may help provide:
-Health & Wellness Services
-Before and After School Academic & Enrichment Programs
-Guidance & College Counselors
-Fee Waivers for College Applications & Admissions Test
-Resources for Classrooms, Teachers & Children
Education Benefit Forms (EBF) can be filled out by accessing the Lake Shore Family Portal (online & recommended) and through this link (paper copy). A new EBF form needs to be filled out each school year, one per family. Completed forms should be returned to your child's school.
Chartwells Dining Service, a division of Compass Group, USA, provides Lake Shore Public Schools Food Services. They manage the department that provides meals and nutrition education services to the students and faculty throughout the district.
Our goal is to serve up happy and healthy meals while making the cafeteria the happiest place in school.
