Founded In 2011 Better 4 You Meals (B4YM) is the direct product of local California school leaders listening to the voices of their very own students and parents who wanted “better” food at their schools.  After years of unsuccessfully working with existing meal vendors to improve meals and student participation, our founders decided to become part of the solution and offer a new option for school meals. 

Serving school districts, charter schools, private schools, summer camps, and after-school care providers, B4YM has helped drive major increases in school meal participation throughout California.  In seven short years, B4YM has grown from an idea of social change to the one of the most impactful members of the California school meal community.
