The free and reduced lunch program is still in effect in the Hoosier state, but parents must apply to take part.
The previous program was offered as a form of COVID-19 relief, giving all students free lunch and breakfast.
Even though it won't be offered this year, the free and reduced lunch program is still in effect in the Hoosier state, but parents must apply to take part."We never want t kid to go hungry, we are always going to feed a kid. But we also need to make sure we are working without parents to make sure they are taking care of their balance on that stuff as well," Wes Anderson with Southern Hancock County Schools said.
At a time when pretty much everything is at an all-time high, parents say they're grateful they can qualify for free school lunches. "I don't have to worry about my kid going hungry because I knew they would have that food at school to fall back on," Sara Helton, who utilizes the free lunch program, said.
