    History of School Nutrition Programs

    In 1946, the U. S. Congress created the National School Lunch Program (NSLP), as a measure of national security to safeguard the health and well-being of the Nation's children and to encourage the consumption of nutritious domestic agricultural commodities and other food. In 1966, Congress created the School Breakfast Program (SBP).

    The basic objectives of both programs remain the same today. School nutrition programs serve education, families, and communities in these ways:

    • Children who are well nourished perform better and have fewer absences
    • Nourished children experience fewer social and psychological difficulties
    • School meals provide balanced nutrition and minimize food safety concerns
    • Parents appreciate the convenience, quality, and affordability of school meals
    • School meals support the local economy and provide jobs
