National School Lunch Program (NSLP)
The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) is a federally assisted meal program operating in public and nonprofit private schools and residential child care institutions. It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free breakfasts and lunches to children each school day. The program was established under the National School Lunch Act, signed by President Harry Truman in 1946.
With over 1 in 5 children in the United States living in a food-insecure household, NSLP plays a critical role in the healthy development and long-term health and educational outcomes for low-income children.
Students at Lifeline Education Charter School (LECS) will enjoy a variety of healthy choices in accordance with the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010. LECS has made every effort to ensure that all meals include items that are healthy and fresh by providing healthier choices for school breakfasts, lunches, and snacks -- including whole grains and a variety of fruits and vegetables.
