Free Breakfast and Lunch for All Students!
Millbury Public Schools is proud to participate in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) program offered by the USDA. This program allows us to serve delicious and nutritious breakfast and lunch at no charge to all enrolled students, regardless of family income.
What this means for you:
Since your child attends a CEP school, there's no need to complete the Free and Reduced Price Meals application.
Encourage your child to take advantage of this free and convenient meal option every school day!
For A La Carte Purchases:
Online payments are recommended for a la carte items, milk purchases, or extra meals.
Checks made payable to Millbury Food Services are also accepted. However, please note that returned checks will incur a bank fee deducted from your child's account. Adult meals will be taxed.
Easy Meal Account Management:
We encourage parents to sign up for a free account on MySchoolBucks.com to monitor student meal accounts. There's a $3.50 transaction fee for credit card payments.
Additional Food Assistance Resources:
We recommend exploring the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) if you're interested in additional food assistance. SNAP provides eligible residents with monthly financial aid for groceries.
Learn more about SNAP at gettingsnap.org or by calling Project Bread's FoodSource Hotline at 1-800-645-8333.
