How does free school lunch work in Camden?

23 schools in Camden participate in USDA's National School Lunch Program. Households below 130% of poverty get free meals; 130–185% get reduced-price (40¢ lunch / 30¢ breakfast); some "Community Eligibility Provision" schools serve free meals to ALL students regardless of family income.

Does my child qualify for free school meals in Camden, New Jersey?

Households receiving SNAP, TANF, or FDPIR are automatically eligible. Otherwise, eligibility is income-based — fill out the school's Free and Reduced Meal application at the start of each school year. Applications are confidential.

What about summer meals in Camden when school is out?

33 summer meal sites in Camden serve free meals to kids 18 and under during June, July, and August. No application required at most sites — children just show up. Sites include schools, parks, libraries, churches, community centers, and YMCAs.

What if I missed the free-meal application deadline?

Apply anytime — eligibility starts the day the application is approved (usually within a week). If your family's situation changes mid-year (job loss, etc.), reapply right away with the new income info.
