Free Meals Notification - August 2022

Date: August 16, 2022

Dear Canton Families,

We want to update you with exciting news about universal free school meals. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts has decided to extend free school meals for all students through the 2022-2023 school year! This means that breakfast and lunch will continue to be served at no cost to all students.

Please note that even though meals will be free for all, it is very important for families to still complete the household Application for Free and Reduced Price Meals for the 2022-2023 school year. You can view and complete the application here.  We strongly encourage ALL families to submit this form as it allows us to establish eligibility for P-EBT benefits, waive fees for Canton Public Schools Pay and Ride Student Transportation, Athletics, Extra Curricular Activities and serve families most effectively.

 

In addition, please consider applying for SNAP, the federal nutrition program that provides eligible residents with monthly financial assistance to purchase groceries. More SNAP information can be found at gettingsnap.org or by calling Project Bread’s FoodSource Hotline at 1-800-645-8333.

The Canton Public Schools Food Service Department thanks you for your patience awaiting this news! As always, we are grateful for the opportunity to provide nourishing and healthy meals to all Canton Public Schools students so please reach out to us with any questions or concerns.

Sincerely,
Martha Lawless
Food Service Director
