The cafeteria can change the future for Texas kids.
Our Mission to a Million.
We’re on a mission to reach 1 MILLION students across the U.S. with delicious and nutritious school food. To do that, we’re entering the great state of Texas to work with school districts to create school food menus that students love and their parents approve!
Look out, Texas! Here we come.
While our ultimate goal is to be statewide, we are currently focused on partnering with these nine districts:
- El Paso Independent School District
- Corpus Christi Independent School District
- Arlington Independent School District
- Brownsville Independent School District
- Frisco Independent School District
- Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District
- Aldine Independent School District
- North East Independent School District
- Garland Independent School District

Write to a District
Community feedback goes a long way. If you want to see Eat Real in Texas, reach out to your local school district to let them know! Here is an example message you can send to school board members, foodservice teams, and district administrators:
Dear [name],
Eat Real is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping schools serve more nutritious, delicious and locally sourced meals so more kids eat at school. Their program provides foodservice teams with a clear roadmap, expert guidance, and data-driven support—at no cost to districts.
Schools that partner with them have seen:
✅ Higher student meal participation
✅ Fresher, more nutritious food options
✅ Stronger connections with local food systems
✅ Healthier students ready to learn
With rising concerns about childhood nutrition, I believe this partnership could be a game-changer for our district. I’d love to explore how we can bring Eat Real into [school district name] and help make a lasting impact on our kids’ health.
Would you be open to a quick conversation to discuss this further? I’d be happy to connect you with the Eat Real team or share more details.
Looking forward to your thoughts!
Best,
