Food Resources for Families

National School Lunch Program

Families are encouraged to complete an application (below) to participate in the School Lunch Program for the 2021-2022 school year.  Below are some common questions regarding the application process for the Lunch Program.

At this time, Breakfast and Lunch at Abby Kelley is free to all students through the  Seamless Summer Option (SSO), a federal and state funded program that encourages school food authorities (SFA) participating in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) or School Breakfast Program (SBP) to provide meals in low-income areas during the summer.

SSO has been extended to support families during the 2021-2022 school year to assure EVERY student has access to meals during the school day, as a result of the Pandemic. This is not a permanent program for Abby Kelley.

Completing this application and qualifying for the National School Lunch Program assures your student(s) is eligible for food resources, possibly outside of the SSO program.

To fully complete your application you must feel the application out entirely. Please be sure to note the following requirements are included on your application for processing:

Included all household members (including non-Abby Kelley students and siblings who are not yet school age) on the application. The number you provide should be the total of all people living in the home.

Provide the Gross Income (the total income before taxes and expenses) and the frequency of this income (weekly, bi-weekly, monthly) for all household members.

The last four digits of  the Social Security Number (SSN) of the Primary Wage Earner or Adult household member is needed.

Stephanie Collins, Nutrition Services Director contacted families at the prior to the start of the school year to confirm their certification in the Lunch Program for the 2021-2022 school year. If you received this email, you do not need to do anything further for your student(s).

Stephanie Collins, Nutrition Services Director is available to support families with questions regarding the Nutrition Programs available at Abby Kelley. She can be reached by email or phone: [email protected] or 508-854-8400 x4645.

Applications for the National School Lunch Program and directions on how to compete this application are available here on our website (below), by contacting Stephanie Collins, Nutrition Services Director, or by contacting your student’s main office in their school building.

Once complete the application should be sent to the Nutrition Services Office; send it to school with your student, your student’s homeroom teacher will assure it gets to Nutrition Services, forms can be delivered to your student’s school in-person and left with the front desk staff, or forms can be mailed to:
