Michigan 10 Cents a Meal Grant

Constantine Public School is proud to participate in the Michigan 10 Cents a Meal Grant, a state-funded initiative aimed at providing students with fresh, locally- grown produce while supporting Michigan's farmer's.

What is the 10 Cents a Meal Grant?

The MI 10 Cents a Meal Program matches school district's purchases of Michigan-grown fruits and vegtables by reimbursing up to 50% of the cost. This partnership helps schools provide healthier meal options for students while boosting the local agricultural economy.

Our Impact in 2023-2024

During the 2023-24 school year, Constantine Food Service purchased $25,637.76 worth of Michigan-grown produce, with over $8,000 of this coming from Corey Lake Orchards. This initiative not only ensured fresher, more diverse produce for our students but also contributed directly to the success of local farms.

Continuing for 2024-2025

We're excited to announce that Constantine Schools will continue participating in the grant for the 2024-25 school year, providing even more opportunities for our students to enjoy fresh, locally-sourced produce while supporting Michigan farmers.

By participating in the MI 10 Cents a Meal Grant, we're making a commitment to better nutrition for our students and a stronger community for everyone.
