  • copy of the certificate of a large family;
  • certificate of the composition of the family;

Please note that you need to file documents in May,that the child would eat for free from September. If you bring all the references from the beginning of the school year, then the baby will not be fed until October.

For example, large families, whose combined income, above the average, is denied food. But it's worth collecting information, if by law you can qualify for free meals. After all, the administration often offers a partial payment. And even such discounts will help reduce the cost of eating a baby.
