No-Cost Meals for All Students
California has become the first state to pass universal free school meals program for all public school students. Free lunch will be offered at all schools. Free breakfast will be offered at participating school sites. All meals will comply with federal nutrition regulations.

Offer versus Serve (OVS) is a provision in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and School Breakfast Program (SBP) that allows students to decline some of the food offered. The goals of OVS are to reduce food waste in the school meals program while permitting students to decline foods they do not intend to eat. For more information about OVS, visit USDA Food and Nutrition Services.
More Than Meals! Benefits for Your Student and School
Completing a school meals form is crucial to school funding.
- For every student who applies and qualifies for free or reduced price meals, the school receives more than $150 and additional money from state and federal grants. This includes increased funding for after school programs, technology, counseling services, and equipment for school kitchens.
- Families who qualify for free or reduced may also be eligible for free or reduced cost internet, free or reduced cost summer camps, and more! Your application helps your child and many others.
