Youth Meal Service Programs
The Brainerd YMCA provides both At-Risk Afterschool Meals during the School year and Summer Food Services in the summer time. These programs are for youth 18 years old or younger.
The At-Risk Afterschool Component of the Child and Adult Care Food Program (At-Risk CACFP) offers federal funding for meals and snacks served to children participating in an afterschool care program at an eligible At-Risk Afterschool Care Center in a low-income area. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) funds the program. Minnesota Department of Education (MDE), Nutrition Program Services administers the program.
The Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) is designed to fill the nutrition gap during the summer months and make sure children can get the nutritious meals they need to achieve.
