Little Free Pantries give neighborhoods and communities the ability to help fill gaps in our food system and are a no-barrier, 24/7 access point to food. These are not associated with the home nearby. Please do not approach the house. “Take what you need, Give what you can”

Lake Washington School District: School Lunch Information
Since the beginning of the pandemic, the USDA has funded free meals to all students. The USDA free meal waiver expires on June 30, 2022. As a result, the district will start charging fees again for lunch and breakfast starting in the 2022-23 school year.
There will be no charge for those eligible to receive benefits for free or reduced meals who have a current application on file. To receive meal assistance benefits for the 2022-23 school year, a new application for free and reduced meals will need to be filled out. We strongly encourage all families who might be eligible for benefits to submit an application. Applications for the 2022-23 school year will be available to complete online (preferred method) through Myschoolapps, or by manually filling out an application found on the district website.

Pantry Packs provides weekend food packs for food insecure Lake Washington School District students each week. Contact your child’s school counselor for more information.
