Berkeley County School District Child Nutrition Services provides nutritious breakfast and lunch meals at all district schools. ALL students are set up with a meal account to charge on when needed. New students are on a paid status until an APPROVED free or reduced meal application has been completed. Free and Reduced Meal Applications for the 2023 – 2024 school year will be available online July 1, 2023.  We encourage all Berkeley County families to apply for these benefits (including families on SNAP, TANIF, or MEDICAID). The free/reduced priced meal program affects a variety of areas unrelated to school meals, including school funding, internet access, college application fees, SAT/ACT fees, AP testing and more. Students that will be attending the following schools do not have to apply for free and reduced meal applications: College Park Elementary, College Park Middle, Cainhoy Elementary, Timberland High School, H.E. Bonner Elementary, Macedonia Middle, St. Stephen Elementary, St. Stephen Middle School, J.K. Gourdin Elementary, Cross Elementary, and Cross High School.  If you have multiple students in the district and one attends the school above, you will still need to complete an application for those students that do not attend that school. Any questions regarding free or reduced applications can contact 843-899-5054.  Parents/ guardians are responsible for all charges made by their students.

Berkeley County Child Nutrition Services are able to accommodate an array of food allergies and dietary restrictions. If you need more information regarding these accommodations, please contact our office at 843-899-8775 to schedule a meeting for menu planning and to obtain the proper paperwork.
