Illinois Free Lunch and Breakfast Program
Every public school must have a free lunch program that
provides free lunches (and breakfasts if a school offers
breakfast) to students
eligible to receive free meals, per
105 ILCS 125/4 and 23 Illinois Administrative Code 305.10.
Reimbursement to offset a portion of the cost of the meal
is available if a site serves a reimbursable
meal to a student
eligible for a free meal and the site is enrolled in the
Illinois Free Program. To become a sponsor of this state-funded
school meals program, click

in a federally-funded school meals program, National
School Lunch Program and/or School
Breakfast Program, are automatically
enrolled in the corresponding Illinois Free Program.)
