Student Fasting Meal Kits for February 28 - March 28, 2025

Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) has exciting news for students and families! Thanks to a new program from the Virginia Department of Education, FCPS students who are fasting during the school day between February 28 and March 28, 2025 can now take school meal kits home at the end of the day.

Here’s how it works: 

• Students must be enrolled as an FCPS student.
• Students must be enrolled at the school where they receive the meals.
• Students must be in attendance on the day they receive the meals.
• Meals must be picked up by students at the end of the school day in a location coordinated by the local school. Adults may not pick up meals.
• Parents/guardians must fill out a weekly Fasting Meals Request Form below by the deadline.
• Students who receive meals to take home cannot participate in the school breakfast or the school lunch program during the school day.
• Meals will be provided based on Free, Reduced, or Paid eligibility and pricing.  

School meal kits will provide complete, healthy meals that include protein, fruits, vegetables, low-fat milk, and whole grains—just like the meals served at school. The food will be kept cold so it stays fresh, and you can heat it at home. The meals are made to fit different food preferences.

Parents/Guardians: Please fill out the following forms if you would like your fasting student(s) to receive school meal kits at the end of the school day to take home. A separate form must be filled out for each week and each student. 

Please contact the Office of Food and Nutrition Services with any questions.
