2026-2027 School Year

Welcome to Keystone Central School District! All children need healthy meals to learn, and KCSD offers nutritious breakfast and lunch meals every school day.

Monthly breakfast and lunch menus are found on line at: https://www.kcsd.us/district-offices/food-nutrition-services

BREAKFAST AND LUNCHES CONTINUE TO BE FREE FOR ALL STUDENTS through KCSD’s participation in Pennsylvania Department of Education’s Community Eligibility Program (CEP).

This is great news for students and families because ALL KCSD students attending school in person will receive a FREE BREAKFAST and a FREE LUNCH for the entire 2026-2027 school year (Virtual academy students are not eligible for Community Eligibility Provision free breakfasts and free lunches because they do not attend school in person. Should a virtual academy student attend school in person for a specific reason, they will receive a free breakfast and lunch).

Families do not need to fill out a free or reduced meal application with Community Eligibility Program (CEP). Hence, there are no 2026-2027 meal applications posted on the Food and Nutrition Services website. Breakfast and lunch menus are available on our website at https://www.kcsd.us/district-offices/food-nutrition-servicesKCSD practices “Offer versus Serve” at breakfast and lunch meals. This means students have the option to select a minimum of two of three offered food group choices for breakfast and to select a minimum of three of five offered food group choices for lunch. Meal cards/student ID numbers are used for free breakfast and free lunch meals at cashier stations.

Sun Bucks

Sun Bucks: PA's Summer EBT Program

Department of Human Services

SUN Bucks: Pennsylvania’s Summer EBT program

Summer is a time when many children may not have access to the free and reduced-price meals they get during the school year, and households might need a little extra help putting meals on the table.

SUN Bucks, Pennsylvania’s Summer EBT program, is a new grocery benefits program that provides households with a one-time payment of $120 for each eligible child to buy food while school is out. Benefits can be used at local participating retailers to purchase groceries.

Many children will get these benefits automatically, but some households will need to apply. The benefits will be added to an existing SNAP/TANF EBT card or a newly issued Summer EBT card.

Note: Benefits for Summer of 2026 will begin being issued to all eligible children in mid-August.

Eligibility

Children who applied and were approved for free/reduced-price school meals or who receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance (SNAP), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) benefits are automatically eligible for SUN Bucks.

Most children who get Medicaid are also automatically eligible for SUN Bucks because their income level is under the income level for the National School Lunch or School Breakfast Program. Children who get Medicaid through the Children with Special Needs category (PH 95) and children who are in the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) will have to apply for SUN Bucks.

Children are automatically eligible for the SUN Bucks Summer EBT program and do not need to apply to receive a benefit if:

The household received SNAP or TANF between July 1, 2025 and August 31, 2026 and the child is enrolled in a school that participates in the National School Lunch or School Breakfast Program; OR
The household received SNAP or TANF between July 1, 2025 and August 31, 2026 and the child is not enrolled in a school that participates in the National School Lunch or School Breakfast Program but was between ages 6-18 between July 1, 2025 and August 31, 2026; OR
The child received Medicaid with qualifying income for the National School Lunch or School Breakfast Program between July 1, 2025 and August 31, 2026 and the child is enrolled in a school that participates in the National School Lunch or School Breakfast Program; OR
The child received Medicaid with qualifying income for the National School Lunch or School Breakfast Program between July 1, 2025 and August 31, 2026 and the child is not enrolled in a school that participates in the National School Lunch or School Breakfast Program but is between ages 6-18 between July 1, 2025 and August 31, 2026; OR
The child is in Head Start, is homeless, in foster care, or is a runaway and the child is enrolled in a school that participates in the National School Lunch or School Breakfast Program; OR
The child applied for and was determined eligible for free or reduced-priced meals through the National School Lunch or Breakfast Program.

Apply for SUN Bucks

Most eligible households will get SUN Bucks automatically if they are getting other benefits, but some households may need to apply for the program. Use the Eligibility Navigator to determine if your child is eligible for SUN Bucks and whether you need to apply.

If you submitted an application after August 31, 2025, that application will be reviewed for summer 2026 benefits, even if the application you filled out was from last year.

If you are not automatically enrolled and believe your children are eligible, you can get SUN Bucks by filling out a simple application.

Applications received after August 31, 2026 will be considered for a SUN Bucks benefits in summer 2027.
