In 1955, the Army and Air Force Exchange Service became the nutritional school meal authority for the Army and Air Force. Today, the school meal program is operated for military students overseas, serving more than 2.6 million meals a year.
Nutritional standards are set by the Exchange’s registered dietitian, in accordance with USDA guidelines.
Beginning Nov. 2 to June 30, 2021, the Exchange, in conjunction with the DoD and DoDEA, will be serving free reimbursable meals to all students enrolled in DoDEA schools overseas.
And school meals purchased prior to Nov. 2, will be credited to student’s school meal accounts.
Families can elect to participate and receive free meals at participating schools and grab-and-go locations.
Parents of students without a school meal account, are encouraged to create one in advance at their local Exchange customer service desk.
For additional information, parents can visit the school meal program website.

The Exchange is committed to supporting our Soldiers, Airmen and their families, during these challenging times.
