Students in Nelson County Public Schools will have access to a free breakfast and lunch at no cost during the 2025-26 school year, the division has announced.

The school system will participate in the Community Eligibility Provision program as implemented under the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010.

“Students attending a participating school will be provided a nutritious meal for breakfast and lunch each day at no charge to the household,” the NCPS Facebook page states. “Households will not be required to submit a meal application to receive meals at no charge.”
