Most children require more than a snack to sustain them throughout the afternoon and early evening.
Early lunch times – Several schools in the district offer lunches at 10:30 AM.
Working parents- Afterschool meals are increasingly important because more and more children are spending long hours in afterschool programs while their parents are working.
Food insecure – The food a child receives at an afterschool program may be their last meal of the day.
Providing afterschool meals is a win for students, parents, the community, our clients and Sodexo.
An estimated 440,000 kids in Washington state—one-quarter of all children—are food insecure, meaning they don’t have adequate, nutritious
food on a regular basis.—Hungry in Washington 2012,
Children’s Alliance
The Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) offers cash payments and USDA foods to afterschool programs that serve a meal and/or snack to children in low-income areas, during the school year.
The program can be operated by: Public or private nonprofit schools
Local government agencies: rec center, county health departments, etc.
Private nonprofit organizations: YMCAs, Boys and Girls Club, community athletic leagues, food banks, etc.
Support Afterschool Programs - Provides a steady source of funding that frees up resources for additional activities
Fight Hunger – Provides an additional balanced meal to make sure children and teens receive the nutrition they need, but may not have access to at home
Counter Childhood Obesity – Serves healthy food at appropriate serving sizes
Foster Student Improvement – Ensures children are more alert and fully benefit from the educational and enrichment activities provided
Increase Attendance - Food attracts students to positive afterschool activities that keep them safe and engaged
Increase Revenue - Provides higher reimbursement rates and increases meal counts from 3:1 for snacks to 1:1 for meals in addition to offering higher reimbursement rates

Programs have the choice of serving a meal alone or both a meal and a snack.
Based on a 180-day school year, a program serving 50 meals, 5 nights/wk could receive more than $28,000 in federal funding for the school year.
By serving both a meal and snack, funding would increase to roughly $35,500.

Additional key resources for those administering the program
“Programs like 3 Square enhance a student’s
well-being by keeping them mentally and
actively engaged, by providing the proper
nourishment for their minds and bodies, and by
helping students feel fueled so they not only
rest well when they go home, but they also start
the next school day ready to learn. Good
nutrition is not about one meal. It’s about a
whole day, and we are proud to extend our
services to help students and their families
succeed in life.”
Roxanne Moore MS, RD
Sodexo’s National Director of Wellness
Additional educational and recreational programming: Age appropriate nutrition education activities, walking clubs, fitness activity circuits, and opportunities for physical activity.
Start a children’s garden: Serve the produce with the snacks and meals to introduce the children to new types of fresh fruits and vegetables.
Introduce new items: a variety of whole grains, herbs, spices, exotic produce, new recipes, etc.
Host theme weeks: Highlight different foods and schedule corresponding activities throughout the year.
Bring in area chefs: Design healthy and appealing daily or special menus
Regular educational nutrition activities: Cooking lessons, nutrition games/puzzles, videos, etc.
Involve parents: Ask parents to visit the site and participate in nutrition related activities.
Invite guest speakers: Talk to kids and lead an activity. Reach out to farmers, dentists, pediatricians, nurses, and nutritionists to the site to talk with students and lead activities.
Encourage government involvement: A great way to keep public officials and members of Congress interested and supportive of afterschool programs is to reach out and encourage them to visit sites and participate in an activity or lesson.
Easier process for SFAs currently participating in NSLP Snack Program
Simplified training - At least one person from the institution must complete training, which will be provided via email, before submitting the application.
State agencies that administer the NSLP and the CACFP are required to enter into a single agreement with the SFAs. An addendum to the existing agreement is sufficient for the SFAs interested in participating in the at-risk afterschool meals component of the CACFP.
An online program is used for LEAs to file their reimbursement claims and update applications.
Persons on this form will be provided access to file claims and/or update the application.
The same official who signed the Child Care Agreement must also sign this form, but does not need to given online access unless appropriate.
A 3-page plan that includes details on staffing, preferred meal plan (CACFP vs NSLP), training, monitoring, and record keeping.
SFAs that are already successfully operating the NSLP do not need to submit a separate CACFP management plan
Use the sample letter to collect information about the past performance and criminal records of all principals within your organization (for internal use only)
