Free Meal Information

 

A letter for families of school-aged children certified as free or reduced eligible and families who could now qualify based on current economic hardship caused by the COVID-19 quarantine.

 

The federal Families First Coronavirus Response Act of 2020 provides benefits, referred to as Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer (P-EBT), to families of school-aged children who would have otherwise received free or reduced priced meals if it were not for school closures.

You are encouraged to complete an online application.

Visit www.SchoolCafe.com or visit the PA Department of Human Services website at www.compass.state.pa.us. Use one application for all students in your household. While all students are currently receiving free meals during the COVID-19 pandemic, those who are approved for free or reduced price meals will continue to receive that benefit for the first 30 operating days of next school year.

If your family needs additional help, you can find how to apply for SNAP or other assistance benefits, visit
