Supporting Students | FREE School Meals Are Availabl...

Supporting Students FREE School Meals are Available October 31, 2025 Serving FREE Meals for ALL Students The California Universal Meal Program will continue, ensuring that free meals are available to every student in our district. The potential federal funding freeze will not impact this program, making it possible to continue to offer FREE MEALS TO ALL STUDENTS. What Does This Mean for Students? This means that all Chico Unified students—regardless of family income—will have access to a nutritious breakfast and lunch each school day at absolutely no cost. Fueling young minds with healthy meals is one of the best ways we can support learning, engagement and well-being in the classroom. This program is a huge benefit for all of our families, helping to simplify busy mornings and save money throughout the school year.

Our Nutrition Services Team served grilled chicken and pork ribs, corn on the cob, baked beans, pasta salad and cornbread! Resources for Families We understand that some families may be concerned about the potential lapse in funding for CalFresh/EBT benefits, which could begin as early as November 1, 2025. School meal programs are not affected: the Chico Unified School District will continue to serve breakfast, lunch and snacks to students enrolled in district schools and after-school programs.
