Thank you for using Café Prepay’s online payment service. You have 24 hour access to view your child’s lunch account balance and a participation report that provides a detailed list of items your child(ren) have purchased at no charge.
As a reminder, you can also have Café Prepay automatically replenish your child’s account when his/her account balance falls below the specified level, or schedule a monthly deduction. Café Prepay offers you many options to facilitate payment of school lunches.
Cash and checks made payable to Milford Nutrition Services are still accepted and can be sent into school with your child. Please include your child’s name, grade and student ID number with all payments sent into school.
If you have questions that are not answered on the website, we encourage you to contact Café Prepay at 866-343-2594 – Ext. 204 or contact Sarah Renz, Assistant Director of Nutrition Services at 513-576-2293.
We hope you continue to find this service a convenient alternative.
The Nutrition Services program offers lunch and breakfast options that are nutritious. Under the leadership of Director Gerry Levy, the program also operates in a financially efficient way. The progam is so successful that other districts are contracting with Milford Nutrition Services to manage their food programs. Other schools include Madeira, St. Andrew and St. Columban. Paul Imhoff, with Madeira City Schools stated, "One of the best decisions we ever made was to partner with Milford for food service. Your entire team is extremely professional and caring. You are a class act!" The program is self-supporting, so no District funds go to support its operations or its operations for other schools.

It is the mission of Nutrition Services to make a significant contribution to the overall physical and mental well-being of each student to enhance their ability to participate fully in the education process. This will be achieved by providing wholesome, high quality, nutritious and appetizing school lunches served in a courteous manner, in a sanitary and pleasant cafeteria environment. This mission will be pursued in the most efficient and cost effective means possible, in compliance with the guidelines of the Ohio Department of Education National School Lunch Program.
To increase the acceptance and consumption of school lunch, we utilize a provision known as “Offer versus Serve” in all of our lunch-rooms. This option is intended to reduce food waste by allowing children to choose three of the five meal components offered at each lunch; although we recommend all five components as the better value.
The five components are:
*Meat /Meat Alternative: 2 oz. lean meat, 2 oz. cheese, 2 eggs, 1/2 cup beans, 8 oz. yogurt, or 4 Tbsp. peanut butter or seeds.
*Grains/Breads: 8 servings per week.
*Fruits and /or Vegetables: 3/4 cup of 2 different selections.
*Fluid Milk: 8 oz.
*Serving sizes listed are for Elementary and Middle school students.
Several different choices of entrées are offered each day in all of our cafeterias. These include the published "menu" entrée, a variety of hot and cold sandwiches, chef salads, fruit yogurt and sunflower seed combos, and a variety of prepacked, grab and go “lunchable” meals. The entrée combines meat and the grain product. Several choices of fruit and vegetables are offered daily. Milk is offered in a variety of flavors and fat contents such as 1% and fat-free milk in chocolate, white and strawberry flavors. Snacks, bottled water, and juices, approved by the Director of Nutrition Services, are available for sale a la carte.
