All District 196 families are encouraged to apply for the Educational Benefits Program (formerly known as the Free and Reduced-Price Meals Program) for the upcoming school year. A NEW application must be submitted each year.

The Educational Benefits Program applications not only ensure students have access to nutritious meals, it also provides critical funding for schools and access to discounted activities and Community Education courses. Learn more about how this application supports District 196 >

Only one application is needed per household. Paper applications are also available from the front office. If you have questions, contact Nutrition@district196.org or call 651-683-6958.
