The United State Department of Agriculture requires students to pay for meals based on Meal Eligibility Status. It may not always be possible for families whose children are required to pay Reduced or Paid price for meals to have funds available, as families may struggle with additional expenses depending on circumstances.

In an effort to assist families, the opportunity to donate meal funds for students is available.

A portion of each gift supports the vital administrative functions that help us deliver our programs efficiently and effectively.

If you would like to donate to a specific school please indicate the name of the school under “Donation Designation” otherwise donations will be designated for all schools.
