If your household income has changed, you can apply for free or reduced-price meals anytime—not just at the start of the year.

We know life doesn't wait for the school calendar. Jobs change, situations shift, and sometimes families need a little extra support. That's exactly what the federal meals program is here for—to make sure every student has access to healthy breakfasts and lunches, no matter what's happening at home.

Here's the deal:

During the annual returning student process, you're asked to complete a federal meals application to see if your child qualifies for free or reduced-price meals. But here's what a lot of families don't realize: you can submit this application at any time throughout the year if your household income changes.

Lost a job? Hours cut back? Dealing with unexpected expenses? You don't have to wait until next school year to apply. You can do it right now.

Why this matters right now

If your household income is currently affected by the federal government shutdown or any other change in your financial situation, we're encouraging you to submit an application today. This program exists to help, and there's no reason to wait if your family could benefit from it.

How to apply:

It's easier than you think. You have two options:

Option 1: Online application (fastest method for approval)

Option 2: Paper application

We get it—asking for help isn't always easy. But this program is here for a reason, and if it can take one worry off your plate, it's worth it. Your kids deserve healthy meals, and we want to make sure they have them.

If you have questions or need help with the application process, don't hesitate to reach out to your school's main office. We're here to help.
