Free Meals for All Children
LOSD is providing free packaged breakfasts and lunches for all children who wish to participate in our Grab & Go meal service. New flexibility from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) enables LOSD to provide free meals to all children ages 1 to 18, even if the children are not enrolled in LOSD, now through the end of December 2020.
Children do not need to sign up for meals. However, it would be extremely helpful for our food service team to be able to plan ahead for the number of meals to serve. If children in your care are interested in participating in the Grab and Go meal service, please click here to complete a 30 second form.
Starting Monday, Sept. 14, breakfast and lunch meals can be picked up on Mondays and Wednesdays at the following locations:
Meals should be picked up at the school site located closest to you. Children may participate in one or both days of the week; they may pick up 2 days of meals on Mondays and 3 days of meals on Wednesdays. Face coverings are required at pickups.

Extra Food Benefits for Families During School ClosuresIf your children normally get free or reduced price school meals, you’re eligible to get extra grocery money. It’s a new program called Pandemic-EBT (P-EBT).
For each month that school is closed and you are eligible, you will get $5.70 per day for each of your children a K-12 school, school-based preschool, or school based Headstart that normally participate in the National School Lunch Program. AND you can still get “grab and go” meals from school during the pandemic!
Immigration status does not matter for Pandemic EBT. Pandemic EBT will not count in a public charge test.
Here are the ways your family can receive the Pandemic EBT benefit:

Here are the ways your family can receive the Pandemic EBT benefit:
- Already get SNAP? The extra money will be loaded on your Oregon Trail EBT card automatically.
- Don’t have SNAP, but already qualify for free or reduced school meals? A new EBT card will be automatically mailed to you with instructions. If your whole school gets free meals, you will qualify too. Even though Pandemic EBT uses the same type of card as SNAP, Pandemic EBT is NOT SNAP benefits and is not considered in a public charge test.
- Never received SNAP or free and reduced price school meals before?
- A simple way to access the P-EBT benefit is by applying for free school meals here: https://www.ode.state.or.us/apps/frlapp.
- Receiving SNAP benefits can also qualify you, here's how to apply https://govstatus.egov.com/or-dhs-benefits.
- You will automatically be given Pandemic EBT benefits starting the month you’re approved for either free school meals or SNAP.
