Afterschool meals and snacks provide a nutritional boost to children, up to age 18, in eligible afterschool meal programs in lower income areas of the county. These programs pull children into constructive activities that are safe, fun and filled with opportunities to learn.  The meal and/or snack feeds their bodies for activity and fuels their minds for academic success. How does the Child and Adult Care Food Program operate? School or Community Partners contact Food & Nutrition Services to request the program. Specific information is collected and verified.  Once approved, sites require no application forms from parents or guardians to complete.  All afterschool meals and snacks are served in group settings, at no cost to the child.  This program is ideal for programs that include supervised athletic activities, such as Boys and Girls Club and the YMCA.  Children who are part of school teams and clubs can also receive these meals as a part of a broad, overarching educational or enrichment program offered at the school.
