Meal Applications

  • Los Angeles Unified is a Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) district and families do not need to submit a meal application. Under the California Universal Meal Program, students do not pay for meals. If a student requests a second meal, then they are required to pay a la carte prices.

  • For Food Services catering, please contact your school for more information.

The Food Services Division currently runs a supper program that provides a meal after school to all interested students and anyone in the community (up to the age of 18 or individuals of any age, if disabled). With the Supper Expansion Program, the goal is to provide ALL students easy access to supper meals! This program is designed to fill the nutritional gap and combat the rising number of students going to bed hungry at night. We are happy to be working with the Food Services Division to bring you this exciting opportunity!
