Food Services
May Menus
Starting June 28 and through the summer, all New Yorkers can receive free “Grab & Go” meals across the city. No registration, documentation, or ID is required. Meals locations are open to children, families, and the general public daily, Monday–Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Vegetarian meals are available at all locations, and Kosher and Halal meals are offered at select locations. Locations will be searchable using the online tool, or via the School Food app, beginning June 25.
Renaissance implemented an option available to certain schools participating in the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs called the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) starting in School Year 2018, and will be continuing it this year. Read the letter granting the provision HERE.
What does this mean for you and your children? Great news for you and your children!
All enrolled students of The Renaissance Charter School are eligible to receive a healthy breakfast and lunch at school at no charge to your household each day of the school year. No further action is required of you. Your children will be able to participate in these meal programs without having to pay for meals or submit an application. However, so that we continue to receive Title 1 funding, you are still required to fill out the meal application form, as well as filling out forms for any children that may be attending schools that do not participate in CEP.
If we can be of any further assistance, please contact us: Yelitza Velasquez – YelitzaVelasquez@rencharter2.org
