New applications are needed every school year after July 1.  Paper copies are printed and available at every school and at our office 801 Kent St, Liberty, MO.

Your child(ren) may qualify for free or reduced-price meals if your household gross, before taxes, income falls within the limits on the Federal Income Chart. 

Households receiving MO SNAP benefits may automatically qualify for free meals.  Families will be notified by August 1, 2024 if benefits have been matched with Missouri Department of Social Services.  If notified of benefits, families do not need to fill out a meal application.

Apply online at School Cafe for fastest and most secure processes.  The application can also be downloaded and printed to complete. 

Please make an account on School Cafe.  Families may apply for discounted meals using a guest account also.

Parents will need their student's nine digit student ID number to add a student to their SchoolCafe.com account.  Menus and applications for discounted meals do not require students to be registered in SchoolCafe.  Each student also has a six digit number that they enter at the end of the line when they come in the cafe.  It is also used to log into their devices. Nutrition Services will send an introduction to school meals letter with these numbers listed in the email. 

The Nutrition Services team for the Liberty Public School District is represented by a staff of over 120 well trained, dedicated women and men.  We provide high quality, nutritionally balanced, and affordable breakfast and lunches to more than 12,000 students daily across our district.  Join your students for breakfast or lunch to see what we are all about!

Through the Liberty Cares Fund, the Liberty Education Foundation is committed to supporting meal debt balances for Liberty Public Schools families throughout the district who qualify for free or reduced meals. LPS is committed to serving all students breakfast and lunch. To help continue to provide these meals to all, your donation is appreciated.

Graduating seniors with account balances may also donate the remaining balance to this fund. Call our office at 816-736-5375 to complete this step.
