No Kid Hungry

PCSD to Provide FREE Breakfast and Lunch to ALL Students, and ALL children 18 Years and Younger Regardless of Enrollment.

School breakfast and lunch will be available at no charge to all Provo City School District students and all children 18 years and younger under a temporary waiver from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). This current waiver will be in effect through May 28, 2021, or until Federal funding runs out. Furthermore, the USDA waiver provides the flexibility and funding to ensure nutrition meals reach all children and their siblings 18 years and younger in this fluid and fast-changing time.

It is recommended and we encourage you to still apply for free and reduced lunch if you have qualified in the past or feel you would qualify now.

Students eating in the cafeteria

PreOrder Instructions and PickUp Locations

Students participating in the Home Study option while enrolled in one of our 18 schools have the option to pre-order to pick up a grab-n-go meal sack. Grab-n-go meal sacks will contain breakfast and lunch if that is what has been ordered. (delete) Those enrolled in the Home Study option full time must pre-order and pick up meals daily following the steps listed below.

If preferred, parent may choose to call or order only once per week, and then must provide the dates with the meals needed. All Free meals for children 18 years and younger regardless of enrollment in PCSD must also be pre-ordered. The students’ full name and school I.D. number are required at time of food order for enrolled students, others will follow the instructions on the form.
