The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced today it is making it easier for Florida schools affected by Hurricane Irma to feed students during this time of great need. All students in affected disaster areas in Florida will now be able to enjoy free school meals provided by USDA’s National School Lunch Program through Oct. 20. Nassau County was an approved county with a Presidential Disaster Declaration. The Nassau County School Food & Nutrition Services department was granted a waiver from the state of Florida to serve free breakfast and lunch to all students at school starting with lunch on Monday September 18 through October 20, 2017. Beginning on Monday, October 23, 2017, the flexibility waiver will expire and all school meals will return to their regular pricing. We hope this will lighten the burden on our families and community during the recovery process.
