Our Food Services Division, better known as “Café LA”, operates the largest School Breakfast Program and the second largest National School Lunch Program in the United States.  We serve over 700,000 meals each day, which include a healthy breakfast, lunch, and supper after school.  Our mission is “Nourishing Children to Achieve Excellence” and Café LA accomplishes this through our various meal programs that provide healthy nutrients and energy to support the academic and physical growth of children.

OF NOTE:

Over 150 million meals are served by our “Café LA” team each year.

Food items being considered as new menu entries are first tasted and evaluated by students at food tasting meetings - Café LA only includes items on the menu that students approve.

LAUSD is one of the first districts in the United States making vegan options available daily at a growing number of schools.
