All children in foster care are eligible for the Free School Lunch Program and certain school fee waivers. It is important to request an application for the Free School Lunch Program for each of the children in your care. Once an application for a child in DCFS care is completed, the child must be provided with free:
- lunch (including milk) and breakfast (if offered); and
- required textbooks and instructional materials.
Each school district and/or the caseworker can assist you in obtaining these free items or programs
