Free/Reduced School Meals
Free/Reduced Price School Meals Family Application
Now families that have children attending a public school district can apply for free or reduced price school meals through the National School Lunch and Breakfast Program online using the Internet! This can be done using COMPASS. COMPASS allows Pennsylvanian’s to apply for social service programs, such as Food Stamps (FS), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANP), Energy Assistance, Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), etc., online. Families can use other services at the same time (FS, TANF, etc.).
Since your child(ren) attends the Pine Grove Area School District, which is a public school district, you can apply for free or reduced price school meals online by going to the COMPASS website at www.compass.state.pa.us or you can continue to use the paper “Free/Reduced Price School Meals Application” if you prefer. If you apply for free or reduced price school meals through COMPASS, you DO NOT need to submit a paper application. Once you access COMPASS, select “Apply or Screen for Services” to select the program(s) for which you wish to apply.
