The free and reduced-price lunch program is confidential, easy, and can help both your budget and your child’s school.

Your child may be eligible for free or reduced-price school meals.

In difficult economic times many families who have never needed assistance before find themselves struggling financially. If your family is in this situation, you might be able to save hundreds of dollars a year by applying for free or reduced-price school meals.

The benefits are significant.  Families who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch can save hundreds of dollars per child compared with buying full-price school meals or making meals at home.

The Oregon legislature provided funding to eliminate the reduced-price payment for School Breakfast and Lunch. For school year 2023-2024, breakfast and lunch will be accessible at no charge to students who qualify for reduced price meals.  There are extra benefits as well; students on this program can also qualify for reduced rates for activity and club fees.

Mosier Community School receives federal reimbursement for the meals, and schools even receive additional federal funding based on how many students have applied and qualified for free and reduced meals—so if you fill out a form and qualify, you are helping both your family and your school!

This is a confidential program. The only people who will know your child is receiving benefits are the nutrition services staff. Children receiving free or reduced-price meals are not identified to other students or adults.

Reimbursable School Meals and Milk Programs

How does a family qualify?

If your household income is at or below the listed guidelines, or if your family receives food stamps, TANF, or FDPIR, you qualify! You can qualify for the program even if your situation is short-term, such as a temporary layoff.

How does a family apply?

It is recommended you apply ONLINE.

A new application (one per household) must be completed each school year to qualify for free or reduced-price lunches.

Applications can also be sent to you, or picked up at the school.

If your income or family size changes at any time during the school year, you may apply or reapply at that time. You can even reapply if you were already qualified for reduced-price meals and a change in your family’s situation makes you eligible for free meals.

Please contact Daphne Flud at 541-478-3321 or fludd@nwasco.k12.or.us if you have any questions about the program.
