Sweetwater County School District No. 2 is extending its free meal service to children 18 and under. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has approved waivers for local school divisions and other federal meal program sponsors to implement the Seamless Summer Option of the National School Lunch Program to provide meals to children in the community free of charge through June 30, 2022. The waivers support access to nutritious meals while minimizing exposure to COVID-19.
Meals are available to all children including those learning in-person or virtually and regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, age or disability.

Free and Reduced applications are not required for free meals; however, it may benefit families to apply.
If you apply and qualify there are benefits available to you such as, help with household utilities, student and class fees may be waived, additional food benefits for families such as the PBET card, there will be another round of these cards being released.
Meals will be provided, at all school buildings, for students learning in-person.
Meal pick up times will be available for all children 18 years or younger at Lincoln Middle School on Mondays from 12:30-1:30 p.m., we will be giving 3 breakfasts and 3 lunches per child and Thursdays from 12:30-1:30 p.m., we will be giving 2 breakfasts and 2 lunches per child. We are currently waiting on guidance from USDA to hear if weekend and non-session day meals will be available to families. Please keep an eye out for further information to follow.
Additionally, the district’s nutrition services department will be changing our online meal payment system from My School Bucks to Titan Payment Systems.
