Every public school student in Arkansas can now receive one free breakfast each school day upon request, beginning with the 2025-2026 school year. This benefit is regardless of income or eligibility for other meal programs.
A healthy breakfast helps students stay focused, energized, and ready to learn. School breakfast is:
Quick, simple, and nutritious
Designed to fuel the brain and body
A chance to connect with friends before class
This statewide initiative is part of a broader effort to address food insecurity and improve student readiness across Arkansas. We encourage all families to take advantage of this opportunity.
Start the day strong, eat school breakfast!
