BERKELEY COUNTY, S.C. (WCSC) – Some students in the Berkeley County School District will be receiving breakfast and lunch for free this school year after qualifying as an eligible community for government assistance.
District officials say 32 schools will be offering no-cost meals to all of their students for the 2024-2025 school year.
This is made possible through a federally funded initiative, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Community Eligibility Program, which works to provide students with meals at no cost. Community eligibility is determined through the use of multiple data sets, including enrollment in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program and applications for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families.
The schools set to offer these meals this year are as follows:
- Berkeley Elementary
- Berkeley High
- Berkeley Middle
- Boulder Bluff Elementary
- Cainhoy Elementary
- College Park Elementary
