Hurricane Irene/Flooding, Homeless Children, and School Meals

Because of the rain from Hurricane Irene and continuous flooding throughout our state, many families with school-aged children have lost their homes, are displaced, are living in temporary shelters, and/or are experiencing changes in their households.

Children from these homes may be counted as homeless under the McKinney-Vento Act and therefore automatically eligible for free school meals.

Read our latest memo about homeless/displaced children and school meals.

Use our outreach flyer to let families know.

Check our website for updates about The Food Stamp Program and Replacement Food Stamps.
