Our Story

The Richmond County Nutrition Services Program, nestled in Augusta, Georgia, provides students breakfast, lunch, after-school snack, and supper at a few schools as well as summer meals when students are out of school. All students eat school meals at “no cost” as the district participates in the Community Eligibility Provision district wide. Community Eligibility allows schools and school districts located in low-income areas to provide breakfast and lunch to all students at “no cost.” Our progressive program takes a different approach than other programs in that our program is primarily student driven. Students help select which items will be featured on our menu, the pairings that will go with those foods, and the containers in which they will be served, as well as our cafeteria seating and the very graphics that cover our walls.
