Food Service Update

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!
