Welcome to Child Nutrition Programs
Overview
Child Nutrition Programs help to ensure the children of Utah have adequate access to safe and nutritious foods. Meeting this basic need is essential to their establishment of a healthy eating pattern and development of a strong foundation for academic achievement.
Child Nutrition Programs administers 14 federal food programs and sub programs, which are appropriated under United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and administered by Food and Nutrition Service (FNS). The federal food programs are primarily designed to ensure sponsors have the necessary knowledge and resources to enable them to provide children and chronically disabled adults access to safe and healthy foods.
The Utah State Board of Education is an equal opportunity provider.
USDA's Summer Meals for Kids Site Finder Website shows open meal sites across the nation with the non-congregate designations. The USDA National Hunger Hotline is operated by Hunger Free America and can be reached Monday-Friday between 8am - 8pm ET.
