Wilcox County School System has been approved to participate in USDA’s Community Eligibility Program (CEP) for our seventh year. We will continue to provide meals to all students at NO cost. Lunch applications are not required.

Children need healthy meals to learn. Choices of nutritionally balanced meals are available daily to every student in Wilcox County Schools. Menus are posted monthly on our school system website at and on our facebook page. Please encourage your child to eat with us!

Students participating in the Patriot Academy for School Success (PASS) program receive an after school snack and can elect to eat dinner at 5:45 p.m. before being transported home.Adult breakfast is $3.00 and adult lunch is $5.00. To enhance school safety, we have approved uniformed law enforcement officers to eat breakfast or lunch in our PK-12 school lunchroom at no cost.

Please feel free to contact Aleph Fore, Nutrition Coordinator, at 229-467-2141 ext. 230 or for forea@wilcoxcountyschools.org if you have any questions. We look forward to serving your child healthy and nutritious meals this school year!
