Free Meal Program
The USDA extended its free meal program through December 31st, 2020. Under this program, any youth up to age 18 can pick up meals at AUSD distribution sites. No ID is needed. Parents can pick up meals without a child present. You will receive multiple days' worth of meals.
We still encourage families to apply for the National School Lunch Free & Reduced Price Program, because qualifying for that program confers other benefits, such as reduced prices for PSAT, SAT, ACT, and AP exams, and free college applications. To apply, please go to the AUSD School Nutrition and Fitness web page.
If you have any questions regarding the FANS menu, billing, or any other services, please call FANS at 510-337-7079. The Food and Nutrition Services (FANS) Department is at your service.
