Objectives Define the Supper Program Present Two Success Stories Discuss Strengths/Challenges Provide Tools for Implementation Q & A
What is Supper? • The Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) provides federal funds to serve a meal and/or a snack to children during the after school hours throughout the school year • The expansion authorized in the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 authorizes the program to be in all 50 states. (More $$$) • The meal can be served at any time during the after school program • The meal can be served hot or cold
Reimbursement Rates (2012-13) Type of Meal Served Free Reduced Paid Supper** $3.0875 - - - - - - - - Snacks $0.78 - - - - - - - - ** includes .2275 cash in lieu of commodities

Ease of Implementation • When applying, you don’t have to submit a budget • Spend your $$ on ANY CN expense • No menu production records • Easy point-of-sale
Why Serve Supper? Children get the nutrition they need Focused learning Generates revenue Increase reimbursement to $3.09 Increase participation Helps stabilize attendance
Why Serve Supper? (Cont’d) Helps showcase your other programs Provides an opportunity for nutrition education Helps build community partnerships Provides jobs for your district
When? During the regular school year (AFTER school) May operate on weekends, holidays, or school vacations In a school system that only has a 4-day school week May not operate in the summer, unless kids are in a Year Round school and on track in the summer
Program Eligibility Programs must: Include educational or enrichment activities Be located in an area where at least 50% of the students are eligible for free or reduced price school meals Meet state and local health/safety standards
The Benefits • Sustainable, entitlement funding • No cap on the number programs participating • No cap on the number of years a program can participate
FAQs • Can the snack and meal be served together at the same time? • Is the Supper menu “compliant” with new NSLP regulations? • Do you have to do an MPR? • CNIPS: Separate claim form? • “Pilot” program first?
