The City of Vénissieux has implemented an initiative to offer a daily snack to students in public preschools and elementary schools, which began on September 1st. This measure aims to ensure children's well-being and meet their nutritional needs.
The snack, developed by the city's dietitian and supplied by the Central Kitchen, includes a biscuit and a fruit, compote, or dairy product. It adheres to the same quality standards as school meals and is distributed at 4:45 PM, after classes.
To receive this snack, free registration is required through the online family portal or by appointment at the Town Hall. Children with specific dietary needs (allergies, diabetes, etc.) cannot participate due to health and safety reasons.
This initiative, launched at the start of the 2026 school year, currently benefits 80% of students enrolled in Vénissieux. The Central Kitchen, inaugurated in February 2019, produces up to 7500 meals daily for schools, nurseries, leisure centers, and retirement homes.
