BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- Families in the Bend-La Pine School District have one less thing to worry about this school year: packing lunch.

All students in the district are eligible to receive one free breakfast and one free lunch every school day through the federal Community Eligibility Provision program.

Families do not need to complete an application to receive the meals.

Parents of students with special dietary needs are encouraged to contact their child’s school nurse for more information or to discuss accommodations.

More information about the district’s free meal program is available through Bend-La Pine Schools.
