Centers receive a state grant based on the number of students eligible for free school meals. However, once a center has been established, all children, youth and their families become eligible to receive services. Those children in greatest need will be given priority. The FRYSCs provide many different services to students and their families such as free school supplies, hygiene supplies, educational programs, food, clothing and much more. 

Anyone receiving services from the FRYSC must attend a parent/teacher conference or one workshop per service received from the center.
