Welcome to the Diocese of Baton Rouge Child Nutrition Program. Our website contains information and resources about our school breakfast, lunch and snack programs. The Diocese of Baton Rouge Child Nutrition Program is committed to providing an environment in which students can make healthy food choices that support success and lifelong health. Research has found a clear connection between good nutrition and student achievement; schools that have implemented healthy food programs report fewer behavior problems.
Services
Established in 1962, fifty-one years and counting, the Catholic Diocese of Baton Rouge Child Nutrition Program's beloved cafes are still making memories by preparing foods with the freshest, finest quality ingredients (hand-chopped, hand-cut, hand-made) and presented with a gracious serving of love.
Drive-thru meal service will be provided at all sites. However, walk-up service will also be available, but all should maintain proper social distancing. At least one (1) child must be present in order to receive a meal package. If additional meal packages are needed, the parent/guardian must print and complete the "Parent Pickup Form" and bring it with them to the meal distribution site.
Any student who attends a Diocesan school that is a part of the Child Nutrition Program (CNP) may participate in the breakfast and lunch programs at his/her school. Students who do not qualify for Free or Reduced price meals may purchase meals.

You may have heard the term Body Mass Index, or BMI, as it relates to weight loss or achieving a healthy weight. This is a tool that helps you measure the amount of body fat you have based on your height and weight. This can be an indicator for your risk of developing health conditions such as heart disease, hypertension, breathing problems, type 2 diabetes and other health problems.
The purpose of the Child Nutrition purchasing department is to purchase quality food and supply items, at the best value possible, for the children of the Baton Rouge Diocese School System. We strive to plan a variety of nutritious, appetizing and affordable meals meeting all state and federal guidelines.
