Free Meals for All Students

Parents/Guardians

The USDA and NJ Department of Agriculture have extended the Federal Emergency Feeding Waiver through December 31, 2020, dependent on available funding. This means that all school meals are FREE to ALL STUDENTS.

Parents/Guardians are still required to complete an application to ensure once the program expires your child (ren) eligibility status is not interrupted.

To access the application please visit The School Café website at https://www.schoolcafe.com. School Café also offers a free app that you can download from the Apple Store and Google Play onto your phone where you can view your account, check out the menus and apply for free/reduced meals.  If you still prefer to submit a paper application, you can obtain one from your child’s school or by visiting the Eatontown Public School District website at www.eatontown.org, go to Departments, Food Service Information, 2020-2021 Lunch Application Information.

Virtual/Remote students can pick up food for the week from 8am-10am and 12:30pm-2pm at Memorial Middle School on Mondays only.
