Meals and Snacks for Children in Afterschool Care

This act expands the school meal program to include full meals, not just snacks, for children attending afterschool programs. This means children will have access to more substantial meals after school, which can help with their nutrition and overall well-being, potentially easing financial burdens for parents.
Key points
Children in afterschool programs will be eligible to receive full meals (lunches, suppers, breakfasts) in addition to snacks.
Meal content requirements will align with those for meals served under regular school meal programs.
State agencies must confirm that programs are not already receiving meals from other sources to prevent duplication of benefits.
