The CACFP Afterschool At-Risk Meals and Snacks Program is a reimbursement program designed to give school age children and youth in low-income areas a nutritional boost and involve them in supervised activities that are safe, fun, and educational during the school year. This program is officially known as the At-Risk Program. An after school program with 100 children could receive over $17,500 each school year for serving snacks, and over $70,000 each school year for serving meals.
