3 Myths about Applying for Free & Reduced Lunch ā and the real facts you need to know!
ā Myth #1: āI was approved last year.ā
āļøReality: Each year, all individuals are required to submit a new application, even if they were approved in previous years.
ā Myth #2: āThe application is too complicated.ā
āļø Reality: The application is quick, confidential, and available online. Most families complete it in under 10 minutes. Plus, schools and Food & Nutrition Services teams are available to help if you need support.
ā Myth #3: āIt doesnāt matter, Iāll just pack my childās lunch.ā
āļø Reality: Even if your child brings lunch from home, qualifying for Free & Reduced Lunch can still help your family. Students can get a healthy breakfast or lunch at school on busy days, during testing, or when plans change.
