California Universal Meals
California Universal Meals ensures that every student—no matter their family’s income—can enjoy free, healthy breakfast and lunch at school. It’s a powerful program that fights hunger and helps kids focus, grow, and thrive. But here’s the catch: even though meals are free, schools still need families to fill out income verification forms. These applications bring in essential funding for education, student services, and the meal program itself. Without enough data, we risk losing the funding that makes Universal Meals possible. So even if you don’t think it matters—trust us, it does. Your form helps feed the whole community.
FAMILIES NEED TO FILL OUR MEAL APPLICATION IN ORDER TO GET SUN BUCKS & EBT!
Thanks to the California Universal Meals Program, all students will receive breakfast and lunch at no charge for the 2025-2026 school year!
