Welcome |
Thank you for supporting your
local school food service association. Feeding
the students of Williamson County is such an
important role in preparing them for their
education day.
The Williamson County School
Nutrition Association (WCSNA) is a non-profit
organization formed for the support of the Child
Nutrition Employees of the Williamson County
School system. The association encourages a
fellowship with other employees and provides
networking opportunities within the department.
The association sponsors several fund raising
opportunities for the members throughout the
year. Activities may include catering events,
ham sales, bake sales, chili supper, t-shirt
sales and/or cookbook sales. Money raised by
the association primarily pays for training,
registration and lodging for members at state
and national conferences each year. Association
funds are also used to purchase food for our
yearly food drive for the students and families
of WCS.

The WCSNA provides many
opportunities to give back to the community. In
addition to preparing food baskets for less
fortunate families, the association supports
food and clothing drives. The group also
sponsors scholarship opportunities for
graduating WCS seniors. An annual event for the
association is preparing gift baskets to be
delivered during seasonal holidays to local
families in need.

Nutrition Association sponsors the Nutrition
Advisory Council Art Contest each year by
selecting and awarding student winners at
