Free breakfast and lunch through December 2020

Effective Thursday, September 3, breakfast and lunch meals for all children age 18 and younger will be free, regardless of the school they attend or the family’s ability to pay. This change is as a result of revised guidelines from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and runs through December 2020. The student does not need to be present to pick up a meal/meals, and an ID number does not need to be provided.

Free breakfast and lunch meals are available every day school is in session, from 11 AM – 1 PM:

• Curbside pick-up at all CCSD21 schools
• School bus mobile sites
