East Canton Schools participates in the National School Lunch Program. Information about the free and reduced lunch program as well as a link to the application form is available in the drop down menu options below. Annually, parents must complete the free and reduced lunch applications for the upcoming school year. If you have any questions regarding this process please contact the food services coordinator at your earliest convenience.
*All students have (or will have) a school lunch account number. This number is unique to every student. This number allows us to build a history of sales for each and every student while maintaining privacy for those on the free and reduced lunch program. Each student’s account will have their picture on it to prevent other students from using their account. This also allows us to add messages to a student’s account at the parents request such as ‘lactose intolerant’ or ‘ice cream only once a week’. These messages can be added by sending a note in with your child or calling the Food Service Office at (330) 488-1427
We’re always working to offer our Hornets healthier and tastier choices. We look forward to serving you and your children!
Exciting News for the 2025–2026 School Year!
FREE Breakfast & Lunch for All Students
We’re excited to share that every student in grades K–12 will receive one free breakfast and one free lunch each school day during the 2025–2026 school year!
Program Highlights
Free Meals Every Day – One free breakfast and one free lunch for each student, every school day.
À La Carte Purchases – Second meals, extra milk, and additional entrées will be charged at à la carte prices. Students must have money in their meal accounts to purchase these items—no exceptions.
No Free/Reduced Applications – Instead of meal applications, families should complete the Ohio Household Income Form. This ensures eligible students can receive Summer EBT (SUN Bucks) benefits.
