**** Districts MUST still collect the Child Nutrition and Education Benefits Application. We still need to verify eligibility levels for proper accounting of meals. ****
Without this information, Jenison and Hudsonville could lose important state funding for educational programs that our students are entitled to. These supplemental grants and programs have the potential to offer supports and services for our students. This INCLUDES Summer EBT benefits which may be available in the Summer of 2026.
Jenison Schools: Apply for meal benefits online at Jenison Family Portal

Hudsonville Christian Elementary: Will continue to offer lunches at the Paid rate of $2.50 per student. Students who qualify for Reduced-Price Meal Benefits will receive lunch at NO CHARGE. Apply for meal benefits online at Hudsonville Family Portal
