FRAC - Information on Afterschool Nutrition Programs
The federal child nutrition programs provide critical funding for meals and snacks in afterschool programs. The federally-subsidized meals and snacks attract children to out-of-school-time programs, where they can be active, engaged and safe while their parents are at work. The food also helps keep hunger at bay so children can fully participate in the activities going on at the program.
