    • Breakfast = $2.00/day
    • Reduced Breakfast = $0.00/day 
    • Lunch = $3.25/day

How to apply for free or reduced breakfast and lunch

Families are encouraged to complete and submit a Meal Benefit Application for 2022-23 school year after July 1st, 2022.  You can apply online or you can download a paper application and return it to your student’s cafeteria. A new application is required each school year.

It's More Than a Meal Application

  • We encourage ALL AFUHSD families to complete a Meal Benefits Application. The information collected on the applications for the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) can do more than just provide free and reduced-price meals.

    Families who qualify for free/reduced school meals may also qualify for: 

    • Discounted rates on phone service.
    • Maintain funding for student programs and services.
    • Reduced registration fees for AP, SAT and/or ACT tests.
    • Discounted fees to participate in most sports.
    • Discounted rates on fees associated with applying for college.
    • Eligible for discounted rates on internet services.

    If you have any questions regarding the Meal Benefit Application or school meal service, please email Food Service Department at foodservices@aguafria.org or call 623.932.7000.

Find Meals For Kids When Schools Are Closed

  • To ensure that children who rely on free or reduced-price meals at school are able to get the nutrition they need, USDA is working with states to continue providing meals to students.

    Also, the USDA National Hunger Hotline remains a helpful resource for people seeking food assistance. The hotline, operated by Hunger Free America, can be reached Monday through Friday between 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. ET. at 1-866-3-HUNGRY (1-866-348-6479) or 1-877-8-HAMBRE (1-877-842-6273) (for Spanish).
