You do not need to fill out an application to receive free meals. Meals are free to all children ages 1 to 18 and all Highline students. No ID, application or proof of income is required.
However, we are still accepting and processing applications because families can use their meal qualification to qualify for other benefits or discounts. Families can apply for meal benefits online in English or Spanish. It is secure and quick to apply online, and it is the fastest way to get approved for meal benefits.
Students who attend a Community Eligibility Provision schools (see list below) are not required to complete a free and reduced meal application but may be asked to complete a family income survey later in the year. CEP Schools are: Beverly Park, Bow Lake, Cascade, Chinook, Evergreen, Glacier, Hazel Valley, Madrona, McMicken Heights, Midway, Mt. View, New Start, Pacific, Parkside, Seahurst, Tyee, Valley View and White Center Heights
