The Lincoln Lutheran school nutrition program desires to meet the nutritional needs of students to better prepare them for learning. The program serves nutritious, balanced, and attractive meals which encourage healthy lifestyles.

Lincoln Lutheran participates in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP). As part of the NSLP, students are encouraged to take all five components of the mainline meal; however, only three components are required. The five components are meat/meat alternate, fruits, vegetables, grains, and milk. A full serving of fruit and/or vegetables must be included in the three components. Students select from foods that meet the strict nutritional guidelines established by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).

There are a variety of Smart Snack compliant baked chips, granola bars, fruit snacks, juice, water, and other items available as ala carte items.

No identifiable restaurant food is allowed in the lunch room, as this is viewed as being in direct competition with the National School Lunch Program.
