Universal Free Meals
We are pleased to inform you that the East Stroudsburg Area School District will once again participate in the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Program called the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) for the 2025-2026 School Year!
What does this mean for you and your children attending our schools?
Great news! All enrolled students of The East Stroudsburg Area School District are eligible to receive a healthy school breakfast and lunch at NO CHARGE to your household each day of the school year.
All students will be enrolled to participate in these meal programs without having to pay a fee or submit an application.
Students will still be able to purchase an additional meal at a charge if they so desire. Smart Snacks will also be available for purchase.
All students will be required to scan their District issued ID Badge at the point of sale to identify that they have received a meal. This is done for accountability purposes.
No further action is required of you.
If we can be of any further assistance, please contact us at 570-424-8500 or by email to melissa-collevechio@esasd.net.
Sincerely,
Melissa Collevechio
Food Service Director
