The Afterschool Meals Program provides reimbursement for nutritious snacks and/or suppers served to children participating in eligible afterschool programs located in low-income areas. Funding for this program comes from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Food and Nutrition Service.
Meals and snacks served to children must meet specific U.S. Department of Agriculture meal pattern requirements. To qualify for reimbursement, meals and snacks must include, at a minimum, food components in amounts specified by age. Supper meals must contain the following components: fluid milk, fruit, vegetable, grain, meat and meat alternates. Snacks must contain a minimum of 2 of the components.
The program must provide after school care with regularly scheduled educational or enrichment activities that are structured and supervised. Afterschool meals programs must keep attendance records, daily meal counts, menus and expenditure records to qualify for reimbursement. Reimbursement is available for snacks and meals served to children through age 18 and certain children over age 18.
According to the state, current reimbursement for FY 22–23 is $2.21 for breakfast, $4.33
for lunch and/or supper (includes cash–in lieu rate), and $1.18 for snack. Meals and snacks may be reimbursed if they are served after school on school days, and on weekends and holidays during the school year.
