    2024-25 Universal (Free) Breakfast Program Schools

    Financial support provided by Child Nutrition Services and Wake County allows certain schools to offer a Universal Breakfast Program that lets all students enrolled at the school receive breakfast at no cost.  Universal Breakfast schools are evaluated annually. The following schools are participating in the 2024-25 Universal Breakfast Program:

    • Dillard Drive Elementary
    • Durant Road Elementary
    • Lincoln Heights Elementary
    • Poe Elementary
    • Reedy Creek Elementary

     

    2024-25 Community Eligibility Provision (CEP)

    The Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) is a USDA program that allows qualifying schools to serve breakfast and lunch to all enrolled students at no cost. Households do not need to complete a meal benefits application for students attending a CEP school and families cannot be asked to complete a meal benefits application for students attending a CEP school for other education benefits purposes.

     

    If households have other students attending a non-CEP school, they must complete a meal benefits application for their other students if they want to be considered for discounted free or reduced-price meal benefits.  

     

    If your student attends one of these schools, they will receive free meals (breakfast and lunch) at school for the 2024-25 school year. The schools below with the asterisk are additions for the 2024-25 school year.
