Bellflower Unified School District 2024-2025 School Lunch Program

Bellflower Unified School District will participate in the California Universal Meals Program and will implement the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP). This means that all K-12 BUSD students will receive one Breakfast and one Lunch during the school day at NO CHARGE. Second Meals as well as a la carte items will be available for purchase through our cashless Schoolcafe system.

Preschool sites will receive a Breakfast and Lunch at no charge, and our Afterschool Programs will receive Supper at no charge. We will continue to serve meals to our children through uncertain times. The goal of the Food and Nutrition Services Department is to offer appealing, nutritious foods, and encourage children to make healthy choices when eating at the school cafeteria.

Since meals are no charge, we will not be sending meal applications to families. However, the District will need to establish eligibilities for student supplemental funds through alternative means – HOUSEHOLD INCOME SURVEY (found in your Data Confirmation). Please help our school district receive the maximum funds by submitting the Form before October 30, 2024.

The submission of a HOUSEHOLD INCOME SURVEY in the Annual Data Confirmation could also give you eligibility for the Pandemic Electronic Benefits Transfer (P-EBT) program. P-EBT is a program that provides a cash-like benefit to purchase groceries for students to replace meals they would have normally received when in-person at school during the pandemic.

General Information:

  • For P-EBT: Complete the HOUSEHOLD INCOME SURVEY in BUSD Data Confirmation. Click here for more information on P-EBT.
  • Our menus with be sent through the school sites and posted on the BUSD website.  
  • All K-12 students will be served breakfast and lunch at no charge, regardless of income.
