Food & Nutrition

Providing nutritious food to students during the school day is another part of our commitment to each and every Hartford student.

The list of 17 school locations for meal pickup is available on our website, www.hartfordschools.org. For the safety of all, we ask that families practice social distancing at meal sites, avoid close contact, and wash hands upon returning home. Meals should be taken home and cooked or refrigerated quickly.

If you have any questions, please call the Food and Nutrition department at 860-695-8490.
