National School Lunch Program

The National School Lunch Program is a federal assisted meal program operating in public and nonprofit private schools, public school academies, and residential child care institutions. It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to children each school day. The program was established under the National School Lunch Act, signed by President Harry Truman in 1946.
