The 2026–2027 Free and Reduced-Price Meal Application is now available. LESD79 encourages families to complete an application, even if they are unsure whether they qualify.

Income guidelines change each year, and many families may be eligible for meal benefits. Application information also helps determine eligibility for certain state and federal programs and resources that support students and schools.

The application is confidential, takes only a few minutes to complete and requires only one submission per household.

2026–2027 Meal Prices

• Breakfast: $2.05

• Lunch: $3.40

• Students approved for free or reduced-price meal benefits receive breakfast and lunch at no cost.

Families can apply online and find additional information at www.lesd79meals.org. Paper applications are also available at school offices.

For assistance, contact the LESD79 Food & Nutrition Department at 623-535-6060 or food-nutrition@lesd79.org.

Completing an application is one simple way families can prepare for the new school year while helping LESD79 connect eligible students and schools with available resources.
