Free and Reduced Lunch Applications Open August 5

Lafourche Parish School District

August 4, 2026

Applications for free and reduced lunch for the 2026-2027 school year open Wednesday, Aug. 5. If your child attends a school that is not eligible for the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) program, please complete the My School Apps application on our website. Click here to apply

If any member of your household receives Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) benefits, or Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) benefits, your child automatically qualifies for free meals. You should receive a notification from the LPSD Child Nutrition Office informing you that you do not need to submit an application.

If you or a household member receives SNAP, TANF, or FDIPR benefits, but you do not receive a notification, you may submit an application with your case number to qualify for free meals.  You may also submit an application to qualify for free meals based on your child’s status as a homeless, runaway, migrant, or foster child, or your child’s participation in Head Start. You may indicate your child’s status on the application.

Meal payments can also be made online for the 2026-2027 school year. Click here to make a payment

If you have any questions, or need assistance completing your application for free or reduced price meals, please contact the Child Nutrition Department at 985-447-3732 or childnutrition@mylpsd.com.
