Lunch Program at WISH Community & WISH Academy 2024-2025
Order breakfast and lunch through our EZSCHOOLAPPS online application:
WISH Community School & WISH Academy Schools offer two meals each day; breakfast and lunch. All meals are free to students but we do request that meals be pre-ordered to help us ensure the correct quantity and choice.
Please login to https://www.ezschoolapps.com/ParentLogin.aspx to order. If you are having difficulties with your EZ APPS account, please reach out to Ms. Kimberlie - [email protected] - for assistance.

Breakfast & Lunch Ordering for 2024 - 2025
All meals provided by WISH schools are delivered to us daily by a third-party vendor - Unity Meals. Therefore having an accurate meal count is important to ensure every child receives the meal of their choice. We also are making a concerted effort to avoid food waste so please only order meals on those days you know your child will want to participate in the School Nutrition Program. Thank you kindly for your support.
************************************************************************************************************
Unity Meals located in Culver City has been serving meals to students since 2007. They provide kid-friendly meals inspired by Los Angeles tastes and culture, source local ingredients, and strive to be eco-friendly with packaging and delivery. You can learn more about UNITY MEALS by visiting their website here.
Universal Meal Service Available for 2024 - 2025!
On July 9, 2021, Assembly Bill (AB) 130 was passed to allow the state of California to provide 2 FREE MEALS each school day to every student (TK – 12) beginning in the 2022-2023 School Year. Under this legislation, schools will be required to serve two nutritiously compliant meals to students who are on campus each day school is in session. For WISH students, this will be breakfast and lunch.
There is no fee for student meals this year but we kindly request that families order meals for students in advance using our EZ-Apps platform. Students are NOT REQUIRED to participate in school meals and parents/caregivers or students can select some days only or some meals only (i.e. breakfast every day but lunch only on Friday). Please ensure you are placing your orders for all of your children using our official ordering platforms.
If you have any questions or concerns please email Kimberlie Traceski at kimberlie@wishcharter.org .
LUNCH APPLICATION FORMS AND ALTERNATE INCOME FORMS - PLEASE COMPLETE ASAP
WISH is requesting that all families complete either a Lunch Application Form or the Alternate Income Form. Completion of these documents may mean thousands of additional funds for our school!
Schools receive federal and state funding based on the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF). Additional school funding is allocated to districts that have students who meet the criteria of being an English Learner, Foster Youth, and/or Socio-Economically Disadvantaged. To receive these additional funds, WISH must be able to identify if each child meets one or more of the above criteria.
Completing this document may also entitle families to receive additional benefits, including free or reduced costs on child care, utility bills, and testing fees (AP, SAT), enabling them to receive scholarships and P-EBT benefits.
