Free and Reduced Lunch Meal Application

FREE & REDUCED MEAL APPLICATION

All students are eligible to apply for the Meal Value Plan (MVP), which may help your child/children receive school meals for free or at a reduced price. Family applications are distributed to all students during the first day of school.
Students who attended schools in Richland Two last year and were on the Meal Value Plan MUST complete a new application for eligibility of extended benefits each school year. If you do not reapply, all meal prices will automatically change to full price. New students applying for the Meal Value Plan are responsible for paying regular breakfast/lunch prices until benefits are issued.

Families may apply to the MVP using the online or paper application.
