Free & Reduced Meal Application Support
​
Neighbors helping Neighbors find the support they already qualify for.
​
​
Many families qualify for free or reduced price school meals but never complete the application due to confusion, language barriers, or lack of awareness. We help connect families to their school's application process and provide clear, simple guidance.
Your school's Free and Reduced Meal Application Support program is run by your district's nutrition team, and completing it can make a real difference. When more families apply, schools receive more federal reimbursement, which strengthens their nutrition budgets and expands access to healthy meals for all students.
​​
Eligibility for free or reduced priced school meal benefits is based on any one of these things:
-
Your total household income and size in the month the application is filled out, or the month before OR
-
your child's individual status as foster, homeless, migrant, or runaway, OR
-
participation in an assistance program by any member of your household.
Your US citizenship or immigration status does NOT affect your eligibility for free or reduced price benefits. ​
