Free and Reduced Meals
Although school meals will be provided free to all children, School funding and eligibility for other programs is dependent on completed meal applications. Families are encouraged to submit the free and reduced meal application for Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer (P-EBT) benefits eligibility.
Aunque las comidas escolares se proporcionarán gratis a todos los niños, la financiación escolar y la elegibilidad para otros programas dependen de las solicitudes de comidas completas. Se alienta a las familias a enviar la solicitud de comida gratis o a precio reducido para la elegibilidad de beneficios de transferencia electrónica de beneficios pandémicos (P-EBT).

COVID-19 Financial Hardship
Parents/Guardians if you find yourself in a financial hardship due to job loss or any other situation you may fill out a Free and Reduced Meal Application. If you qualify, not only would you receive meal benfits, but you could also qualify for any other related benefits as well.
Virginia families with students who would have received free or reduced-price meals if schools were open, will now recieve temporary P-EBT food benefits.
Richmond DSS Notice - Our state vendor Conduent has recently made our agency aware of P-EBT card distribution issues for new and some existing P-EBT recipients. Staff are working diligently to address this issue and mail out cards daily to recipients who have not yet received theirs. All cards are expected to be mailed by April 2, 2021. Please allow 10 business days after that date to receive your card. If you have not received your card and benefits by April 16 2021, please call the P-EBT Call Center.
