Food Services

Overview

Every student in the school district is automatically enrolled in the food service program.

At schools with computerized systems, they will be given a pin number. Please do not give anyone else your pin number. You are responsible of all charges on your child's account. If you do not wish your child to be able to make purchases through the food service program, please send a letter stating that to the Keene Food Services office. A child wishing to purchase a meal or snack will only be refused if a letter from the parent or guardian is on file.

Keene Food Service is self-funded and receives no local tax dollars other than utilities. Funds from the State and Federal Government are received through meal reimbursement and the Government Food Surplus Program.

Keene Food Services provides services to all of the schools in the Keene School District as well as the schools in Marlborough, Harrisville, Marlow, Nelson, and Chesterfield

There are two main kitchens located at Keene High School and Keene Middle School.

2025-2026 Supply Chain and Distribution Challenges

SAU 29 schools would like to make you aware of some challenges that may impact our posted breakfast and lunch menus.

Supply chain and delivery driver shortages are affecting the food industry across the country and our schools are not exempt from challenges. We will continue to provide healthy breakfasts and lunches to the students in SAU 29, however, we are not able to guarantee the accuracy of the posted menu. Due to menu items that are schedule to be on the menu arriving late or in some cases not at all, we may need to make last minute menu changes and product substitutions based on what is available to us.

Keene Food Services will continue to provide meals to our students through these supply chain and distribution disruptions. We ask for patience and understanding if last-minute changes must be made to the menu.
