School Breakfast Program
The School Breakfast Program (SBP) provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free breakfast to eligible children each school day. Federal nutrition standards also ensure these meals are within age-appropriate calorie levels and limit both unhealthy fats and sodium. SBP provides reimbursement to states that operate a nonprofit School Meals Program in schools and residential childcare institutions.
Balanced nutrition throughout the day contributes to student success in and out of the classroom. SBP plays an important role in supporting obesity prevention and overall student health by improving children’s diets and combating food insecurity.
There are approximately 150 sites that participate in Nebraska’s SBP.
