Free Meals for Students Extended to End of School Year

District District

As a clarification, the waiver to offer free meals to all students has been extended to the end of the school year. 

All enrolled Cedar Falls CSD students, regardless of eligibility, can receive a daily free reimbursable breakfast and free reimbursable lunch based on the designated waiver. A la carte, second meals/milk, and adult meals are excluded from the program but will continue to be available.  

Students are not required to “sign-up” to participate. Students will continue to access meals using the district cafeteria or for virtual students placing pre-orders two days prior to the scheduled pick-up. Family meal accounts will NOT be charged during the available waiver except for a la carte and second meals/milk. Funds currently within the family meal accounts will remain. 

Should this program be canceled or funds become unavailable prior to the end of the school year, meals will be processed through the food service program and student accounts will be charged. For those families who receive free or reduced breakfast and lunch, accounts would be charged at that rate. Families are still encouraged to apply for the Free and Reduced meals using the application located on the district website.
