The NC State Budget includes funding that allows Child Nutrition Services to provide free breakfast AND lunch to all students that are eligible for reduced-price meals for the 2022-2023 School Year!  

The new school year comes with changes to how students purchase or receive school meals—a change that might be confusing to families who are used to meals being available at no charge since March 2020.

To help in sharing this important information with your district's families, the School Nutrition Association has created a short video—available in both English and Spanish—that lays out these changes for 2022-23.
