With pauses to SNAP payments, we understand that many families may be feeling uncertain about how to access healthy food. Food security is a vital part of student success, and Middletown Public Schools is here to help ensure that every child and family has the support they need.
Below are several no-cost food resources available to families across Middletown:
🏫 1. Free School Meals for All Students
Every student enrolled in grades KPA–12, as well as all-day preschool programs (in MPS), is eligible for ONE free breakfast and ONE free lunch each school day.
Taking part in our school meal program helps ensure students are nourished and ready to learn — and it supports our school community, too!
🥫 2. Weekend Meal Programs & In-School Pantries
All MPS schools offer weekend meal support and in-school food pantries.
To learn more or to sign up, please contact your school secretary or cafeteria team.
