As Saint Paul Public Schools transitions to in-person learning for some students, our meal service is also changing. Whether your students are learning in person or remotely, they can continue to receive free breakfast and lunch for the remainder of the school year.

Meals for Students at Schools

Free breakfast and lunch will be provided to all students during in-person learning at every school. This includes students who are on-site for in-person academic support. Menus are available at schoolcafe.com/spps. 

For more information about how meals will be served and eaten when students return to school, visit spps.org/reopen.

Meal Box Pickup

Free meal boxes for children can be picked up at over 50 schools throughout Saint Paul. Pre-orders are required to pick up at these schools.

Meal boxes are available for any children 18 and under, plus those with a disability currently enrolled in a school program. Children do not need to present to pick up meals. Please remember to practice social distancing (stay at least 6 feet away from other people) and wear a mask when picking up meals.
