The Food Services Department of Austintown Local Schools operates as a self-funded entity, providing daily breakfast and lunch through the National School Lunch Program and the School Breakfast Program, ensuring that each eligible student receives one free meal of each type each school day. The department emphasizes healthy eating by participating in the Offer vs. Serve approach, allowing students to select their preferred meal components from five essential food groups: grains, meat/meat alternatives, fruits, vegetables, and milk.

Committed to inclusivity, the department adheres to USDA civil rights regulations, prohibiting discrimination based on various factors, and ensures that program information is accessible to individuals with disabilities and available in multiple languages. They strive to promote nutrition education and wellness within the school community, encouraging healthy meal choices and active participation in food programs.
