Afterschool Supper
From Snack to Supper . . . It’s Simple Math
At E S Foods, we believe one of the most significant aspects of the “Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act” legislation which passed in December 2010, is the expansion of After School Meals for At-Risk Children. The new legislation provides a significant upgrade to the current snack program, both in terms of nutrients provided and funding available, and can prove a centerpiece in attracting children to after school enrichment programs.
Moving from snack to supper creates a real revenue opportunity for your school district. The reimbursement rates for suppers are about 4 times higher than for snacks. For example, a reimbursement rate of .74 cents for a snack can increase to $2.92 for supper! And with a supper program, kids will receive a more substantial meal so they can be fully engaged in an after school program. E S Foods can help you with the snack to supper program transition by offering products such as:
- Thaw & Serve Meal BREAKS featuring hoagie-style sandwiches
- Shelf Stable Meal BREAKS
- Frozen Entrees, such as low sodium macaroni and cheese and new stuffed sandwiches.
All come with nutritious snacks, and 100% fruit juice.
