[su_spoiler icon="chevron" title="School Breakfast Program"]<p class="copy white"> | |
The School Breakfast Program (SBP) is a federally funded meals program that started in 1966. The SBP provides nutritious breakfasts to students and gets them ready to learn. As with the case with school lunches, children are eligible for free, reduced, or fully-paid breakfasts based in their families’ incomes. Unfortunately, Connecticut is last in the nation for the number of schools offering school breakfast and only 39.1% of low-income students are eating breakfast at school.</p>[/su_spoiler] | |

[su_spoiler icon="chevron" title="SUMMER MEAL PROGRAMS"]<p class="copy white"> | |
These programs include the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) and the Seamless Summer Option of the National School Lunch Program. They were created to provide the benefits of school lunch and breakfast during the summer when school is not in session. Summer Meal Programs provide reimbursements to schools, local government agencies, and private non-profit organizations that serve free meals and snacks to children at sites located in low-income areas or that serve primarily low-income children. As great as this program is, only 1/4 of children who eat free or reduced lunch at school are participating in the summer food program in Connecticut.

[su_spoiler icon="chevron" title="National School Lunch Program"]<p class="copy white"> | |
President Harry S. Truman signed the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) into law in 1946 as a measure of National Security. He did so after reading a study that revealed many young men were rejected from the World War II draft due medical conditions caused by childhood malnutrition. Since that time the National School Lunch Program has made over 180 million free or reduced price lunches available to children attending public and private schools and childcare institutions. The NSLP works through federal reimbursements paid to schools serving free or reduce priced lunches. Lunches served as a part of the National School Lunch Program must meet USDA meal guidelines. Every day, over 300,000 children eat a school lunch in Connecticut.</p>[/su_spoiler] | |
