A long time passes between lunch and dinner time, leaving many children hungry when they arrive at or participate in after school programs. The Afterschool Snack and Supper programs provide federal funds to private non-profit and public organizations (including schools) so they can serve nutritious snacks and meals as part of after school programs and help bridge this gap for children. Funds are provided through The Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) and the National School Lunch Program (NSLP).

Afterschool Snack is a winning opportunity for both Afterschool programs and the children they serve. Many Afterschool program provide a snack or meal as part of their programming. The Afterschool Snack program ensures that the snack is nutritious and healthy and helps Out-of School Time programs strengthen their fiscal sustainability.
