School Nutrition Programs

School Nutrition Programs are government or school-led initiatives that provide students with access to nutritious meals during the school day. They aim to support students' health, academic performance, and well-being by offering balanced breakfasts and lunches. These programs often include free or reduced-price options for eligible students, ensuring that financial barriers do not prevent children from receiving proper nutrition. They follow specific dietary guidelines to promote healthy eating habits and are an essential part of the broader efforts to improve childhood nutrition and reduce food insecurity in our communities.
