School Lunch program
During the school year, qualifying children can receive free and reduced-cost meals while at school.
Schools send school meal applications home at the beginning of each school year. However, you may apply for school meals any time during the school year by submitting an application directly to your school or district. If you’re earning at or below current income eligibility guidelines, you are encouraged to contact your school or district to fill out a school meal application. Applications are reviewed by local school or district officials before granting free or reduced price benefits.
If you receive Food Stamp benefits, all of your children who attend school automatically qualify for free school meals. Participation in Temporary Assistance for Families in Idaho (TAFI), Food Distribution Programs on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) also provide automatic eligibility. Please contact your school to determine if you need to fill out an application.
Free and Reduced Meal Application (Available August 10, 2022)
