CFPA's Child Nutrition Reauthorization Recommendations.

| National School Lunch Program | Ensures the Nation's children have a nutritious meal to keep them learning through the school day |
| School Breakfast Program (SBP) | Similar to the School Lunch Program, School Breakfast starts the school day on the right track by making sure learning is not impaired by hunger |

| Child and Adult Care Food Program (CCFP) | Provides children and functionally impaired adults in day care or after school programs with healthy meals |
| After School Snack Program | Helps after school programs provide children a nutritional boost and draw them into activities that are safe, fun, and filled with learning opportunities |
