Colorado Springs School District 11 is offering free meals in participating schools for the 2024-2025 school year through the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) and the National School Lunch Program.

D11 asks that households still provide income information when the district requests it, to continue to access state and federal funding.
The district says any funds not used for meal costs will go towards "after-school activities and other nutritional programs for students."
Additionally, "qualifying households" could be eligible for discounted fees, class materials, bus passes, and more.
All students qualify for free meals for this school year, but for additional benefits, households are encouraged to complete a LINQ Connect application here.
