Q: Are meals free?

A: Yes! Meals are available for children, ages 1-18.  Children do not need to be enrolled at a Clovis Unified school to access these no-cost meals during the summer. These no cost meals are made possible by a waiver to extend universal free lunch through the 2021-2022 school year, issued by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) in an effort to reach children experiencing food insecurity.  

 

Q: Where can I get a meal this summer?

A: Whether you're attending CUSD summer school, or taking some time off this summer- Campus Catering has meals for you!  During June and July, grab and go meals are available for community pickup at six school sites, M-Th from 9:00 am-9:30 am.  Every enrolled summer school student will have an opportunity get a grab and go meal as they leave campus each day. See our Summer Meals page for complete details on where you can pickup your free meals.

 

Q: Are you serving breakfast or lunch?

A: Both!  Participating children will receive breakfast AND lunch each day in a grab and go bag.  These meals are not intended for on-site consumption.  Entrees are cold and should be heated at home.

 

Q: Can I get a meal if I am not enrolled in summer school?

A: Yes. Grab and go meals are available for any child, ages 1-18.

 

Q: Do you have drive-through meal pick-up?

A: No.  Campus Catering will no longer offer drive-through meal pickup. Children and parents should contact the school they intend to pick up meals to find out the exact location where meals are distributed.

 

Q: Does my child need to be present at the time of meal pickup?

A: No.  Adults may pick up meals for children.

Q: Are meals free next school year?

A: YES!!!!  Meals will be available to every CUSD student at no cost during the 2021/2022 school year. Thanks to action by the USDA, Campus Catering can offer these free meals as part of the Summer Seamless meal program.  

 

Q: Do I need to complete an application to qualify for no cost meals?

A: For the 21/22 school year only, a Free/Reduced Price Meal application is not required to receive meals at no cost.

Eligible households may also receive other benefits including AP, SAT and ACT test fee waivers, discounted college application fees, and discounted home internet.
