Free School Meals for Students

We are thrilled to share that the 2026–2027 California budget will continue to support School Meals For All!

This means that all SFUSD students will have access to one free breakfast and lunch every school day! Supper is also available for all SFUSD students at certain school sites across the district; this is free through CACFP funding.

Students, parents, and staff can find their school’s menu at sfusd.edu/menus.

SFUSD and CA Dept. of Education Policy: No student is denied a meal, a fruit and or vegetable required with every meal. Students will be offered nutritious meals to support their learning and development. We appreciate your partnership in talking to our new and transferring students who are yet to understand how the meal program works. Please talk with your student about how nutritious the school meals are and to encourage them eat at meal time!

All meals served by SFUSD Student Nutrition Services meet the guidelines set by the USDA, CDSS, CDE, and the SFUSD Wellness Policy and Nutrition Guidelines. Made without the ingredients on our Never Ever List.

If you are a middle or high school with the Refresh Menu, please take a moment at the beginning of the school year to let incoming 6th and 9th graders know that your meal program is new to them and to give it a try!
