At-Risk Afterschool Meal Program (ASMP)

Qualifying and Applying

ASMP Sponsors handle administrative and financial oversight of the program. Public and private nonprofit organizations that have the ability to manage a food service program, such as schools, faith-based organizations, municipal parks, food banks, Boys and Girls Clubs, and local government agencies, are eligible to become sponsors.

Becoming an ASMP Site

There are many different community locations that can serve as an ASMP site such as schools, community centers, and libraries. In general, each site must show that the site is located in an area of economic need. Opening an ASMP site under an existing sponsor may be easier than you think.

ASMP Sites:

• Distribute meals to children
• Provide a sheltered supervised area for eating
• Provide organized, supervised regularly scheduled education or enrichment activities
• Attend your sponsor's training
• Keep daily records of meals served
• Supervise meal service at your location

Please contact us for assistance understanding qualification requirements or if you need assistance with the application process.
