2012-2013 Free and Reduced Meal Application

What does the Free and Reduced program offer?

The program offers free or discounted meals to those in need. Families may qualify based on income guidelines set-up by the US Dept. of Agriculture and the Nebraska Dept. of Education's Nutrition Services.

How does a person or a family qualify for benefits?
The first step is to fill out an Application for Free or Reduced Meals. Based on income a family may qualify using several factors, including household income, number of persons living in household, and whether the family is currently receiving Food Stamps, TANF (Temporary Assistance to Needy Families), or FDPIR (Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations).
