Breakfast & Lunch Available at Nine Sites & Along Four Delivery Routes ~ Pandemic Electronic Benefits Transfer for Children (P-EBT)
UPDATE: ODE has announced free breakfast and lunch for all students through 2020 (December 31, 2020). This means that all students can take advantage of district meals at no cost. It is still important that you complete free and reduced meals application for the year. For the most current meal distribution plan visit https://www.ocsd62.org/district/breakfast-lunch-available-nine-sites-along-four-delivery-routes-pandemic-electronic
All students eat free at meal distribution sites; do I need to fill out the Meal Benefit Application? Yes! Families need to re-qualify for meal benefits after August 1st of each year. Families should do this now so that everything has been approved BEFORE the start of the Hybrid model later this year. This is especially important if your financial situation has changed due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Having an accurate count of families who qualify also allows our school to apply for various grants throughout the year. You can apply for meal benefits online.
Option 2 Families
We know many families have selected Option 2. For the most up to date information regarding this program please visit:
