Register for After-School Meals 101: Starting Your CACFP At-Risk After-School Meals Program – April 16th at 1pm
After-school meals serve a critical need for hungry children in Illinois. Many schools and organizations already serve snacks or meals in their after-school programs yet they are doing this out of their own cost. Reimbursements are available to serve free snacks and meals to children in eligible after-school programs through the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) At-Risk After-School Meals Program. Join the Illinois State Board of Education and No Kid Hungry Illinois in this webinar to learn how you can start or expand your after-school meals program through CACFP At-Risk and become a stable source of nutrition in your community! Topics covered will include:
- Current state of after-school meals in Illinois
