Afterschool Meals and Snacks
Afterschool meals and snacks programs are an excellent way to help surround kids with opportunities for nutritious meals and for schools to increase food service revenues! With the At-Risk Afterschool Program (part of the Child and Adult Care Food Program – CACFP), administered in Missouri by the Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS), schools and organizations can offer kids a snack and a meal afterschool. Better nutrition for kids and increased revenue for schools; afterschool meals programs are a Win Win for Missouri!
