Improving child nutrition is
the focal point of the
Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids
Act of 2010. The legislation
authorizes funding and sets
policy for USDA's
core
child nutrition programs:
the
National School Lunch
Program, the
School Breakfast Program,
the
Special Supplemental
Nutrition Program for
Women,
Infants and Children (WIC),
the
Summer Food Service Program,
and the
Child and Adult Care Food
Program. The Healthy,
Hunger-Free
Kids Act allows
USDA, for the first time in
over 30 years, opportunity
to
make real reforms to the
school lunch and breakfast
programs by
improving the
critical nutrition and
hunger safety net for
millions of children.
