After School Snacks

The National School Lunch Program Afterschool Snack Service is a federally-assisted snack service that assist schools in serving snacks to children after the regular school day. The afterschool snack component of the NSLP helps children fully engage in afterschool programming by filling the hunger gap many children face in the afternoon and early evening. Children participating in an approved afterschool care program age 18 and under, and participating children who turn 19 during the school year, are eligible to receive reimbursable snacks through the NSLP.

Snacks served through the NSLP Afterschool Snack Service must include full servings of two of any of the following four food components:

  • Fluid milk (8oz)

  • Meat or meat alternate.

  • Vegetable or fruit, or full-strength vegetable or fruit juice (6oz)

  • Whole-grain or enriched bread (or an equivalent serving of a bread product) or a serving of cooked whole-grain or enriched pasta or noodle products.

Juice must not be served when fluid milk is served as the only other component.

Not all Chambersburg School District schools have after school programs. But the ones that do provide a snack that meets the above standards.

If you have any questions about the program, please contact the Food Service Office or your school's Cafeteria Manager.
