Every CPS student to get $450 for food through federal program that will benefit 1 million Illinois children – Chicago Sun-Times*

The program is intended to help students who usually receive free or reduced-price breakfast and lunch but who haven’t had access to in-school meals during the pandemic. Since CPS participates in a federal program that provides free lunch for all students in the district, every CPS student is eligible and will automatically receive the benefits in the mail.
