Improving child nutrition is the focal point of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids
Act of 2010
(HHFKA). 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.
