We’re excited to share a new initiative that will support the health and well-being of every student in our district—the Centreville Public Schools Food Club.

Over the past year, Centreville Public Schools has partnered with the Michigan Farm Bureau Family of Companies to bring this innovative resource to life. The Food Club is a small-scale grocery store located inside the junior/senior high school, offering all Centreville students free access to fresh, nutritious food.

Thanks to renovated classroom space, the Food Club features refrigeration, freezers, and shelving stocked with fresh produce, milk, vegetables, meats, and other staple items. Students will be able to “shop” using points allocated to them regularly, allowing them to choose the foods they need and enjoy.

This program will be operated by our AgriScience Career and Technical Education (CTE) students, offering a real-world, hands-on learning opportunity. Support for the Food Club also comes from the St. Joseph County Farm Bureau, the Jason Scramlin Agency, the Southwest Michigan Food Bank, and the greater Centreville community. The Centreville Public Schools Food Club is the first of its kind in our area. Our goal is simple: to ensure every Centreville student and their family has access to healthy, nourishing food—without barriers.
