Free & Reduced Lunch

How does a family qualify?

If your household income is at or below the listed guidelines, or if your family receives food stamps, TANF, or FDPIR, you qualify! You can qualify for the program even if your situation is short-term, such as a temporary layoff.

How does a family apply?

Applications are available online, in your school office, and at the Nutrition Services offices, and can be returned to your school, the District offices or to the Nutrition Services office.  The Online application is the quickest way for your family to be approved for free meals so it is recommended if possible. If your income or family size changes at any time during the school year, you may apply or reapply at that time. You can even reapply if you were already qualified for reduced-price meals and a change in your family’s situation makes you eligible for free meals. A new application (one per household) must be completed each school year to qualify for free or reduced-price lunches. If you have any questions about the program or how to apply, please contact Russ Knott or Donna Haggstrom at the OregonTrail School District, 503-668-3377.
