Federally assisted meal program
The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) is a federally assisted meal program that operates in public and nonprofit private schools and residential childcare institutions. It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to children each school day. The program is designed to ensure that low-income children receive reduced-price or free meals at school, and it guarantees a set reimbursement for each qualifying meal served.
