Description

In 2014, the federal government spent about $20 billion to reimburse schools, child care centers, and after-school programs for childrenäó»s meals. The federal programs benefit mainly school-age children from low-income households. Other nutrition programs provide benefits directly to such households: the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP; formerly the Food Stamp program) and the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC). This report examines how the school meal programs operate; some characteristics of participants in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and the School Breakfast Program (SBP); how child nutrition programs affect participants; what has caused changes in spending for child nutrition programs; and some options to change child nutrition programs. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
