School Meals

Effective immediately, Cumberland County Public Schools will be serving meals at no charge to children 18 and under. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has approved waivers for local school divisions and other federal meal program sponsors to implement the Summer Food Service Program to provide meals to children in the community free of charge through December 31, 2020. The waivers support access to nutritious meals while minimizing exposure to COVID-19.

The new school year requires a new meal application. Although school meals will be provided free to all children, school funding depends on completed meal applications. A new meal application must be completed if you have not already been notified that your student is approved for free meals. It is important to submit a completed meal application as soon as possible.

  • Only one meal application is needed for each household.
  • Applications are available online at www.cucps.k12.va.us

Meals are available to all children including those learning in-person or virtually and regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, age or disability. 

For information regarding meal distribution, visit our www.cucps.k12.va.us, or follow us on social media at https://www.facebook.com/iamcucps/.

Meals are currently provided on a first-come, first-served basis every Monday from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.  Beginning October 23, 2020, meal distribution will take place on Fridays from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Meals may be obtained at one of the following locations: Cumberland Middle School; Randolph fire and Rescue Building; or Cartersville Rescue Squad Building.  Families may also sign up for home delivery of meals by contacting the Cumberland County School Board Office at 804-492-4212.
