For those that don’t know, school breakfast and lunch will no longer be free in the fall of 2022 in all states except California and Maine (these two have continued the program). If you think your student qualifies for free or reduced lunch, you will need to fill out an application with your school district. And remember, if your student gets free or reduced lunch, they also get free or reduced breakfast.

If you can, reach out to your state representatives to encourage them to follow California and Maine and fund the free school lunch program. This has been such a relief for so many children and families over the past 2 years.
