The Blue Ridge Area Food Bank is sponsoring the At-Risk Afterschool Meals Program, which will provide nutritious meals at no charge to participants at multiple sites across Lynchburg, Staunton and Waynesboro.
The At-Risk Afterschool Meals program is part of a larger initiative called the Child and Adult Care Food Program.
The program provides free meals and snacks to children and teenagers in low-income areas after school. The Child and Adult Care Food Program is a federal program that provides reimbursements for nutritious meals and snacks to eligible children and adults who are enrolled for care at participating childcare centers, day care homes and adult day care centers.
CACFP contributes to the wellness, healthy growth and development of young children and adults in the United States.
Many children rely on school meals for their daily nutrition. The At-Risk Afterschool Meals program helps fill the gap when school is out and supports a child’s health and well-being so they can focus on learning and growing.
The institution is an equal opportunity provider.
