For more information, please visit www.ecpps.k12.nc.us/reentry/child-nutrition . ECPPS Community Partnerships Broaden Free Meal Services The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has extended a waiver, nationwide, that enables summer meal operators the ability to continue feeding all children free meals. The waivers were slated to expire on August 31st; however, the USDA took action to extend the waivers as late as December 31, 2020, to meet the needs of children and families during this unprecedented time. Without the waivers to continue meal services for all children, school districts would have had to limit meal accessibility to enrolled students and there could have been associated costs for families. More information is available on our website at www.ecpps.k12.nc.us .
