Afterschool Snack Program

null

The afterschool snack component of the National School Lunch Program fills the afternoon hunger gap for school children by providing nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free afterschool snacks to eligible children each school day. The Afterschool Snack Program (ASP) provides reimbursement to states to operate nonprofit afterschool care programs in schools and residential childcare institutions.

Approximately 150 sites participate in Nebraska’s ASP.
