Jersey City Public Schools Lunch Food Application and Food Pantry Information

The foundation of a successful academic year is the health and well-being of our students. We recognize that access to nutritious meals is not just a benefit—it is a critical necessity that fuels learning, focus, and growth. I am writing today to provide absolute assurance that our commitment to feeding our students remains strong and unwavering.  Please be advised that the Jersey City Public Schools district will continue to provide free, nutritious breakfast and lunch to all eligible students every school day. There will be no interruption to these vital meal services. If your circumstances have changed and you think your child may qualify, please complete a lunch application on the district website using the link below.
We understand that external financial and health challenges can affect any family.
