Supporting Students Through Uncertainty: Free Meals and Food Assistance Available for MVWSD Families
When children are properly nourished, they can concentrate better, retain information and have the energy they need for a full day of school. The ongoing federal shutdown is threatening to delay CalFresh program benefits to over 5 million Californians who rely on CalFresh (the state’s SNAP program) benefits for food assistance.
MVWSD wants to help. Free school meals are available every morning and lunchtime at every school. Please encourage your students to take advantage of these meals.

Any families who are experiencing food insecurity can reach out to their school’s SCEF for confidential guidance and help.
