Meal Applications
The meal application process is federally mandated and the Food Services Division must follow all applicable regulations in order to continue to receive reimbursement funds. Each year the California Department of Education, Nutrition Services Division, must approve our meal application. Once approved, we begin the annual process of qualifying students for free and reduced meal benefits. We realize the process can often be quite confusing for parents and caregivers. To assist you, we have developed a few resources that are listed below.
Please view our “How to Fill Out a Meal Application” video in English or Spanish for step by step instruction.
For District 5 families, the Food Services Division is working together with the Division of Student Health and Human Services Children's Health Access and Medi-Cal Program (CHAMP) to provide families whose children are eligible for free meals to also apply for health insurance. For District 5, please utilize "How to Fill Out an Express Enrollment Application" video in English or Spanish.
If you require additional assistance, your Café LA manager will be glad to assist you or you may call 1 (800) 300-FOOD.
