If you’re earning at or below current income eligibility guidelines, you are encouraged to contact your school or district to fill out a school meal application. Applications are reviewed by local school or district officials before granting free or reduced price benefits.

How to Apply: Any family with children enrolled in a school or district participating in the school meal programs may apply. Contact your school to learn about eligibility and to fill out a school meal application.
