To participate, your school district must run the NSLP and the after-school program must provide educational or enrichment activities in a supervised environment.
The Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) offers cash reimbursement at a “free supplement” rate to help non-profit or non-school-based organizations serve healthy snacks to children in after-school care programs. To participate, your program must be “area eligible” and your after-school program must provide educational or enrichment activities in a supervised environment.
