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.
