A child nutrition program is an excellent way to help ensure children and youth in your community attend school well-nourished and ready to learn.

Child nutrition programs help to:

• Provide students with healthy meals and snacks that provide the energy they need to stay alert and engaged throughout the school day;
• foster a happy and healthy school environment;
• decrease student absenteeism, in-class disruptions and conflict between students;
• increase students self-esteem, problem-solving skills and creative abilities;
• develop life-long healthy eating habits; and
• provide children and youth with the best chance at success possible!
