Filling out the Free and Reduced Meal Application is beneficial for both families and schools, even if you're unsure your family will qualify.
Financial
Savings: If your family qualifies, your child will receive free or reduced-price breakfasts and lunches, potentially saving you a significant amount on meal costs each month.
Increased Funding for Essential Programs in the school: The number of completed applications directly impacts the funding your school district receives from the state and federal government. This funding is crucial for maintaining and expanding critical programs.
