Free or Reduced Meals Application
The free or reduced meals application can be completed entirely online via LINQ. While the application remains available indefinitely, please note that we strongly encourage all families who meet the qualifications to complete it by Wednesday, September 27 if you have not done so already. Beginning the week of October 2, students who currently receive free or reduced meals via an approved 2022-23 application but have yet to have an application approved for this school year will no longer receive free or reduced meals.
Please note that paper copies of the application continue to be available at your student’s school as well. If you need any assistance during this process, please contact the School Nutrition Department at 804-365-4566.
Thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely,
Patrick McCarty
Director of School Nutrition
