Lunch Program Information
All CARE Elementary School students eat breakfast, free lunch and snack FREE due to the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP)! Participation is automatic and families are not required to fill out an application. It is our goal to feed all students of CARE Elementary School a nutritious and well-balanced meal.
What is the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP)?
Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) allows schools with a high eligibility for free and reduced-price meals to provide a no-cost reimbursable lunch and breakfast for all students in the school regardless of income.
Will my child receive free or reduced-price meals even if we aren’t income-eligible?
All students will receive a no-cost reimbursable lunch and breakfast meal, regardless of income.
