While meals will be provided at no cost to all of our students through the Healthy School Meals for All program again for the 2024 - 2025 school year, it's important for us to continue gathering information to receive full access to federal funds that support our schools’ nutrition programs.

We encourage Weld RE-4 families to complete the Free and Reduced Meal Application. Paper applications are available at all schools and the District Office (1020 Main Street, Windsor, CO).

Here are some of the benefits that qualifying families may receive:

• Reduced or waived class fees
• Reduced Windsor Parks, Recreation, & Culture registration fees
• Discounted internet services via Lifeline

Children may qualify if they:

• Receive SNAP, FDPIR, or TANF
• Are a foster child under the legal responsibility of a foster care agency or the court
• Attend a Head Start program
• Meet the definition of homeless, runaway, or migrant
• Have a qualifying household income

Families only need to fill out one application per household. Even if an application was completed in previous years, families will need to complete the application every school year.

Last, but certainly not least, if families need meal support this summer, please text "Food" or "Comida" to 304-304, or visit KidsFoodFinder.org to find a location near you.
