Baja California Sur’s state welfare agency expanded its school feeding program in Los Cabos this year, adding more than 1,500 hot breakfasts daily for children and adolescents. The expansion targets low-income families in priority neighborhoods across the municipality.
SEDIF, the state family welfare agency, announced the expansion following a coordination meeting in Los Cabos. SEDIF director Luis Alberto Ceseña Romero and Los Cabos municipal DIF director Esthela Bañuelos led the meeting. State and municipal nutrition program officials joined them to set coverage targets.
The agency also delivered new mobile kitchen equipment to Cabo San Lucas. Officials say the equipment will improve food quality and make daily distribution more efficient.
The program distributes breakfasts through schools in communities the state designates as priority zones. These are typically neighborhoods with higher rates of food insecurity and lower household incomes. Officials have not published a full list of qualifying communities, but families in lower-income areas of Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo are the primary target.
For expat families, eligibility depends on where you live. The program runs through public schools in designated neighborhoods. If your children attend a participating school in a priority zone, they may qualify regardless of nationality. Contact your school director or the Los Cabos municipal DIF office for enrollment information.
SEDIF framed the expansion as part of a broader state commitment to child nutrition in Baja California Sur. The agency said the goal is to reduce food insecurity among school-age children across the municipality.
The 2026 expansion builds on an existing program rather than launching a new one. No budget figure was included in the announcement. Officials did not specify a total number of children currently enrolled before this expansion.
