Free Meals for TLC Students

Children need healthy meals to learn. TLC offer healthy meals to MPS and WS students every school day at no cost. We receive funding for this through the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Lunch and breakfast at no cost for our students is now permanent. We need your help to keep providing free meals to all students in future years. 

Completing the meal benefit application can: 

• help sustain free meals for our school(s) by increasing access to Federal funding 
• drive funding for educational programs in our community
• help provide free summer meals to all kids, and free meals to kids in childcare in our community.

Families who qualify for free or reduced-price meals for their children also qualify for Sun Bucks starting in the summer of 2026.
