Collect More School Meal Applications with Our New Outreach Toolkit! |
|
School Meal Application Toolkit Hunger Solutions New York and No Kid Hungry New York have created a School Meal Application Toolkit to help school districts communicate with families about the importance of completing free and reduced-price (F/RP) applications. In New York State, all schools are required to collect household income information either through a F/RP application or an alternative household income form—even if the school offers free meals to all students—to establish economic need for state and local funding. The strategies and resources included in this toolkit can be used to: - Encourage families to submit a F/RP school meal application.
- Communicate clearly the benefits of submitting household income information through a F/RP school meal application.
- Improve the return rate of F/RP school meal applications.
Explore our new toolkit to find an array of resources specially designed to bolster your efforts to collect meal applications, including flyers, sample outreach language, and social media posts and graphics, like the images below. |
