86 Montana schools to serve free breakfast and lunch
August 25, 2014 /
About 86 schools in Montana will serve free meals to all their students starting this year under a newly-expanded program through the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The community eligibility provision of the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 allows a school to offer free breakfast and lunch to all their students if at least 40 percent of the students are eligible for free meals through certified participation in another assistance program. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) are all qualifying programs.
