Great news! Beginning with the 2026-2027 school year, breakfast and lunch will be free for all Vineland Public Schools students.

No application is required for students to receive free school meals. Families are still encouraged to complete the annual meal application because the information is used to determine eligibility for Summer EBT benefits.
