Frequently asked questions

The grocery card is intended for parents/caregivers who could use some extra money to buy (healthy) school meals for their children.

You can choose what food and drink to buy for your child with the card. The Red Cross, which organises the School Meals Programme, has a lot of experience with grocery cards. We know that parents/caregivers spend the money on things that are good and healthy for their children, and we trust them to do so.
