Complete Meal Applications Online This Summer

Children need healthy meals to learn. The Office of SchoolFood offers healthy meals every school
day. Breakfast is at no charge to all students and lunch costs $1.75.

The first day of school is September 4, 2014; you may qualify for free meals before the start of
school. We encourage you to complete a School Meals Application online over the summer so that you will not need to submit a paper form in September and do not incur any meal charges while your form is being processed.

You can apply online at nyc.applyforlunch.com beginning July 1, 2014 from any computer, tablet or
smartphone with an internet connection. Entering your application online is quicker, easier, and
more accurate than filling out a paper application. Applications submitted online are processed
within 24 hours of receipt and you will receive immediate confirmation that your application was
submitted.

If you prefer not to complete the School Meals Application online over the summer we will be
sending a paper application home with your child in September. It is important that when you
receive the lunch application you complete it as soon as possible. Please keep in mind that you are
responsible for the full price of the lunch while the lunch application is being processed.

Your privacy is important to us. All information is kept confidential. Federal regulations do not
allow the Department of Education to share your information with any other agency.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact SchoolFood at (877) 363-6325

We greatly appreciate your support and cooperation.
