Eligibility Criteria
If your child(ren) attends the Bellevue School District and is enrolled in the Federal Free and Reduced-Price Meal Program, they are eligible to receive grocery store food vouchers from Bellevue LifeSpring. Distribution of the food vouchers for eligible families occurs the week before winter, mid-winter, spring, and summer breaks from school.
With the grocery store voucher, you can purchase fresh produce, dairy, bread, meat, or any food relevant to your family’s cultural and dietary needs.
Are your children registered for the Free & Reduced-Price Meals program at their school? Bellevue LifeSpring provides grocery store food vouchers for each student registered on the Free & Reduced-Price Meal program during school breaks.
You can sign your child up anytime on the Bellevue School District website. Qualification is based on household size and income; you must reapply yearly. Registering your child also opens them up to other benefits, including a waiver for some school fees.
If you haven’t already, and you are eligible, please register your child. Visit the Bellevue School District website to access the Free & Reduced-Price Meals application. The application is also included in the Bellevue School District back-to-school packet at the beginning of the school year and year-round at the school’s main office or Family Connections Center. Learn more about the application.
Need help filling out the application? Please contact the Family Engagement Specialist at your school or visit the Bellevue Family Hub for in-person assistance.
