PICK UP MEALS FOR CHILDREN

During the COVID-19 crisis, the federal government made free meals available for all students, but these pro - grams have now expired. For the 2023-24 school year, many districts still offer free or reduced-price meals, though some require an application. Check each school district’s website below for details on eligibility, and if required, how to apply. If your school district is not listed here, contact your district directly to inquire about their free and reduced meals program.
