Free & Reduced Price Meals

Free or reduced-price meal eligibility must be determined each school year. If you do not receive a Direct Certification approval letter before school starts, you must submit a new application. Previous year eligibility remains active for up to 30 days into the new school year or until a new determination is made.
Breakfast - All students in Pennsylvania public schools are eligible for FREE breakfast for the 2026-27 school year, regardless of family income.
 
Lunch - Families who qualify for reduced-priced lunches will receive their meals free of charge. 
 
APPLY ONLINE: SCHOOLCAFE - Applying online for free or reduced meal benefits is quicker and preferable when possible.
