There are two ways to verify if a site is eligible, school data or census area eligibility. First, check eligibility using school data and if the site does not qualify using school data, check using census area eligibility.
In order for the site to be eligible using school data, the nearest active public school building must have at least 50% free and reduced applications. To verify site eligibility using school data:
1. Find the nearest school by clicking on Great Schools - Finding the Nearest School link.
2. Open the Site Eligibility For Application link.
3. Use the CTRL + F function to search for the nearest school to the site location. If the closest school has 50% or more free reduced applications the site is eligible using school data.

2. Open the FRAC Summer Food Mapper link. Click on Michigan. Select the magnifying glass/search button and enter the address of the site. If the site is pink, the site is eligible. If the site is in light blue, use the FRAC calculator to verify eligibility. If there is no color change, the site is not eligible.
