The Child Nutrition Programs impact the nutrition, health, and the physical well-being of children in public and nonpublic schools, residential child care institutions, and charter schools. More than 800,000 children on average per school day benefit from the National School Lunch Program and more than 260,000 per day participate in the School Breakfast Program.
Child Nutrition Programs are led by a professional group of well qualified and trained Directors, Supervisors, and Cafeteria Managers. Their staffs that make the program work on a daily basis are dedicated to the 'health and well being' of children as demonstrated each school year. These 12,000 professionals also have a tremendous economic impact on their school systems and the state in general. More than 420 million dollars is generated annually in local, state, and federal funds.
