|
Boise, ID -- 08/13/2021 -- Boise School District is pleased to share that we are providing free meals for all students regardless of eligibility status. Meal applications are not required for children to receive free meals. Breakfast and lunch are served at all Boise schools.
In cooperation with Boise Parks & Recreation and the Boys & Girls Clubs of Ada County, suppers and/or snacks will be provided for after-school programs at Garfield, Grace Jordan, Hawthorne, Hillcrest, Horizon, Jefferson, Morley Nelson, Whitney, Whittier, and William Howard Taft elementary schools, as well as South and Hillside junior high schools.
The Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program will again be available at the following schools: Garfield, Grace Jordan, Hawthorne, Hillcrest, Horizon, Jefferson, Koelsch, Morley Nelson, Whitney, Whittier, and William Howard Taft elementary schools. This important program expands access to and improves consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables, helping to make a difference in children’s health.
No Meal Application is necessary to receive free meals, however applications are still available upon request. To complete a paper meal application, contact your school Food Service Manager or the Food & Nutrition Services office at foodandnutrition@boiseschools.org. If your child is a member of a household receiving assistance under food stamps-SNAP, Temporary Assistance for Families in Idaho-TAFI, Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations-FDPIR, migrant, or foster programs, or is certified by the proper liaison to be a homeless or runaway child they automatically qualify through Direct Certification and do not need to complete a meal application.
