Lower Dauphin School District will offer free breakfasts to students from Oct. 3 through the end of the 2022-23 school year.

On Sept. 9, Gov. Tom Wolf announced that the state will provide funding to ensure that every student in the commonwealth can receive free breakfast at school this year, starting on Oct. 1. This change is only applicable to the School Breakfast Program in the 2022-23 school year and does not affect a student's eligibility status for lunch, whether free, reduced, or paid.

Prior to COVID-19, Lower Dauphin cafeterias averaged 48,000 student breakfasts per year. Last year, when free breakfasts were offered by the federal government, more than 68,000 student breakfasts were served.
