Students who qualify for free or reduced-price meals may be eligible for the Pandemic-Electronic Benefit Transfer program to purchase food for days they are not in the school building. The program is with the Minnesota Departments of Education and Human Services.
To be considered, households must submit an application for free or reduced-price meals for the 2020-21 school year or be approved for Minnesota Family Investment Program or Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits, according to a Wadena-Deer Creek Public Schools Facebook post. Families will be qualified based on the form submitted not a separate application.
