Welcome to the Lyncourt UFSD Food Service Department

---

At Lyncourt UFSD, our Food Service Team plays a vital role in the health, happiness, and academic success of our students. We believe that one of the most important ways we can help children perform their very best is by providing the nutrition their growing minds and bodies need each day.

We are proud to offer free breakfast and lunch to all students, ensuring that every child begins the day ready to learn and stays fueled for success. Whenever possible, we strive to prepare wholesome, homemade-style meals that are both nutritious and appealing. Our team is here not only to serve meals, but to support your child’s healthy living journey.

 We are committed to creating welcoming cafeterias, serving fresh foods, and helping our Lyncourt students build lifelong healthy habits.

At Lyncourt, we don’t just serve meals — we nourish futures.

The District is committed to creating and maintaining an environment which is free from discrimination and harassment.  Policy 3420 addresses complaints of discrimination and/or harassment made under applicable federal and state laws and regulations, as well as any applicable district policy, regulation, procedure, or other document such as the District's Code of Conduct. It is just one component of the District's overall commitment to maintaining a discrimination and harassment-free educational and work environment. 

We want to take a moment to talk about something simple that makes a big difference in your child’s school day: breakfast. Click here for more information!

SNAP Helps Families Buy Food  

SNAP helps New Yorkers buy food. SNAP provides monthly benefits to spend at local grocery stores.

Schools work hard year-round to connect students with the nutrition they need—despite these efforts, some families are still struggling.  School meals and SNAP work together to nourish children. 

With SNAP you will have more to spend at the grocery store and farmer's markets, your kids will automatically qualify as Free-eligible for Breakfast and Lunch meals. Qualifying for SNAP also streamlines access to other nutrition assistance programs, like Summer EBT and WIC.

You can get help applying for SNAP. It’s free and confidential. Learn more: FoodHelpNY.org If you are interested in seeing if you may be eligible before applying, a tool is available here.
