• Free School Meals holiday voucher scheme

  Fri 04 Dec 2020

  DCC have now put in place arrangements to provide supermarket vouchers to nearly 15,000 children across Devon who currently receive free school meals, to help their families buy groceries over the Christmas holidays.
   
  We don’t want anyone to miss out on this vital support so look out for a letter or email from DCC next week for details about how to access your vouchers or an alternative food box.

  If you think you may now be eligible for free school meals due to a recent change in circumstances, please apply online through the Devon Citizen’s as soon as possible. Alternatively, you can call our education helpline on 0345 155 1019. To ensure you receive the free school meals holiday vouchers for this Christmas period you must apply by Friday 18 December 2020.
