EAST WINDSOR, NJ — Students from the East Windsor Regional School District can now apply for free and reduced lunch program for the 2020-2021 school year.

Students who are unable to pay for meals in schools will be served under the National School Lunch Program and the School Breakfast Program. Applications opened on Monday.

Families living within the school district, whose household income is less than or equals federal guidelines are eligible for the program.
