Food Services

Welcome to Bluffton-Harrison MSD Schools Food and Nutrition Services Department.

Our mission is to provide nutritionally balanced meals according to the USDA National School Breakfast and Lunch Child Nutrition Services at reasonable cost to students, staff and guests. Our goal is to operate a child focused nutrition program that provides a variety of healthy food choices to ensure students’ readiness to learn while implementing the Dietary Standards for Americans.

The food service program is operated under the federally funded National School Lunch Act and Child Nutrition Act. The federal laws regulating the food service programs are administered by the United States Department of Agriculture through the regional office and implemented by the Indiana Department of Education. The Food and Nutrition Services program is financially self-supporting.
