No child should go hungry; that’s the simple idea behind a program implemented in schools across Ventura County that open up free breakfast and lunch to every student on campus — no special form required.

Schools in Santa Paula, Fillmore, Hueneme, Oxnard and Ventura will offer the meals to all students this year under a program designed to help students in low-income communities.

The Community Eligibility Provision provides school nutrition programs an alternative method for claiming student meals in high poverty areas. Essentially, the provision is a way to reduce paperwork and other administrative burdens at the local level by simplifying procedures to get students the meals they need.
