California has become the first state in the nation to offer free school meals to all children regardless of their family’s income.
“Feeding San Diego is thrilled that this is going forward and it’s an investment that’s going to help a lot of families in San Diego County,” said Carissa Casares, the Senior Communications Manager for Feeding San Diego.
Feeding San Diego said about half of San Diego Unified students rely on free or reduced meals.
Universal Meals will allow all public school K -12 students to get their breakfast and lunch at no cost this school year, without applying.
