Cincinnati Public Schools
Food Resources
Due to the ongoing federal government shutdown, many Cincinnati families are experiencing a temporary suspension or delay in SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits.
Cincinnati Public Schools remains Here for Kids — ensuring that every student has access to healthy meals during the school day and that families know where to find additional support.
Below you’ll find food resources organized by CPS corridor and beyond. These programs are available to help families meet their needs during this temporary disruption. It is recommended that families contact community partners to verify details before arrival. A photo ID may be required.
Several CPS schools operate food pantries. Click here to view the map.
