Feeding Program

Afterschool Meals Keep Children Learning and Healthy

Kids Foundation is children enrichment program is supported by The Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP).

The Afterschool Feeding Program of Kids-Foundation provides nutritious food that contributes to the healthy growth and development of school children. The nutritious meals reenergize the kids, helping them learn better, retain knowledge acquired during the school day and grow stronger.

According to the Food Research and Action Center:

School-aged children have higher daily intake of fruits, vegetables, milk, and key nutrients, such as calcium, vitamin A, and folate, on days they eat afterschool meals compared to days they do not.

Children of mothers working non-traditional hours are at greater risk for being overweight and obese, which suggests the importance of providing afterschool snacks and meals to children, especially those from working families.

Afterschool meal programs are required to offer educational or enrichment activities in addition to meals, which enables children to learn and stay safe when school is out. The meals served through this program draw children to these activities.
