Free School Lunch for ALL Students Through October 20th

From News Channel 8, WFLA:

“TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Florida Commissioner of Agriculture Adam H. Putnam announced today the U.S. Department of Agriculture accepted a request to allow all students in 48 counties subject to a FEMA Major Disaster Declaration access to free school meals through the National School Lunch Program.

These changes, in effect Sept. 18 – Oct. 20, will potentially impact over 3,000 schools and 2.5 million children.

The department is requesting additional flexibilities as counties are being declared major disaster areas and as requests are submitted by counties. As such, additional counties could be added to the waiver in the coming days.”
