We believe that every successful child deserves a great breakfast and a healthy lunch every day. Every full-time student that is registered with Worth School District 127 will get a free breakfast and a free lunch every day that school is in session. This page will help you get the most of the food program that we offer here.

Online ordering for the breakfast/lunch period of Monday, May 1st through Wednesday, May 29th is OPEN and due midnight Friday, April 19th.

** If your child is observing a fasting period due to religious reasons, please refrain from ordering meals on those days so food is not wasted. However, feel free to order the meals if your child will take them home to eat later in the day.**
