It's more than a meal. Your application can also earn more money for your school. Here's how:
Why? Because it turns out those applications could increase the amount of money your school receives to pay for resources that help students: academic coaches, technology, musical instruments, field trips and more!
Schools receive more money and resources based on the number of families who qualify for free and reduced meals - regardless of whether they decide to use the program.

Easy and private: There's no need to bring us paper applications, and we keep your information private. Your child will never be identified as a participant.
Another benefit? You and your student may be eligible to receive other services: Not sure you'll use the meal program? That's OK! You don't have to - but keep your approval letter. It could qualify you for other services, like reduced-cost bus transportation.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Families in the following schools DO NOT need to fill out a meal application but, for school funding purposes, MUST complete a different income form. Call your school for more information:
