The document provides information about obtaining funding for afterschool meals programs through the USDA's Afterschool Nutrition Program. It outlines the eligibility requirements sites must meet to qualify for reimbursements, such as being located in an area with 50% or more free and reduced-price school enrollment. Eligible sites can receive reimbursements for serving healthy snacks and meals to children after school hours and on weekends or holidays. The benefits of the program are that it helps combat childhood hunger by providing nutrition, and generates funding to support afterschool programs.
