OPELIKA —
The Greater Peace Community Development Corporation (GPCDC) is participating in the Child and Adult Feeding Program for the 2023-24 school year.
Breakfast, lunch and snacks follow the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) guidelines for healthy school meals. Breakfast, lunch and snacks are provided to students at the Greater Peace Child Development Center and supper is provided to students participating in the STEM after school program.
Greater Peace Child Development Center parents should complete an eligibility form to determine if their child qualifies for free, reduced or paid meals. Parents who do not wish to complete an eligibility form will be required to pay full price for all meals and snacks served. The STEM after school program is considered “at risk” and therefore all students may eat at no cost to families.
In accordance with federal civil rights law and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) regulations and policies, this institution is prohibited from discriminating on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex (including gender identity and sexual orientation), disability, ageor reprisal or retaliation for prior civil rights activity.
