The Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) and Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion (CNPP) are agencies of the United States Department of Agriculture's Food, Nutrition, and Consumer Services.
USDA FNS works to end hunger and obesity through the administration of 15 federal nutrition assistance programs including WIC, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), and school meals.
USDA FNS is committed to ensuring access to healthy and safe food for those participating in our programs including expecting mothers; infants and children in child care and school; economically challenged families going to food banks; local farmers markets; and local supermarkets. These are investments that support education, health care, and a competitive workforce.
Committed to the sound stewardship of taxpayer dollars through aggressive efforts to reduce and prevent fraud and increase efficiency. USDA FNS accomplishments include:
- Increasing access to nutritious and safe food for eligible people.
- Helping to reduce the number of households with children that experience low food security.
- Partnering with schools to implement national standards designed to improve the quality of food served and sold in schools.
- Promoting healthful diets and active lifestyles among those participating in our programs.
- Reducing improper payments in the largest nutrition assistance program, SNAP.
Our challenge and commitment now, and in the future, is to ensure our programs continue to respond to the needs of the low-income families and respond to the changing economic conditions while ensuring we remain vigilant stewards of taxpayer dollars.
Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP)
USDA’s Child and Adult Care Food Program plays a vital role in improving the quality of day care and making it more affordable for many low-income families. Each day, 2.6 million children receive nutritious meals and snacks through CACFP. The program also provides meals and snacks to 74,000 adults who receive care in nonresidential adult day care centers. CACFP reaches even further to provide meals to children residing in homeless shelters, and snacks and suppers to youths participating in eligible afterschool care programs.
National School Lunch Program (NSLP)
School districts and independent schools that choose to take part in the lunch program get cash subsidies and donated commodities from the USDA for each meal they serve. In return, they must serve lunches that meet Federal requirements, and they must offer free or reduced price lunches to eligible children. School food authorities can also be reimbursed for snacks served to children through age 18 in afterschool educational or enrichment programs.
School Breakfast Program (SBP)
The School Breakfast Program operates in the same manner as the National School Lunch Program. School districts and independent schools that choose to take part in the breakfast program receive cash subsidies from the USDA for each meal they serve. In return, they must serve breakfasts that meet Federal requirements, and they must offer free or reduced price breakfasts to eligible children.
