In this memorandum, we present several options for consideration by the distributing agency to help ensure that service institutions receive donated foods for use in the summer meals provided in SFSP in an efficient and cost-effective manner.

The purpose of this memorandum is to establish the authority of state agencies that administer the National School Lunch Program and the Child and Adult Care Food Program at-risk afterschool meals to permit school food authorities to administer the CACFP at-risk afterschool meals in a manner consistent with the NSLP requirements.

The purpose of this memorandum is to provide clarification on in-kind contributions, specifically, whether a state’s purchase of additional foods for distribution could be classified as an in-kind contribution.

This is a follow-up to our Feb. 21, 2003, memorandum that announced the extension of the provision allowing some for-profit child care centers to participate in CACFP. The purpose of this memorandum is to provide guidelines on the submission of retroactive claims for reimbursement.

This memorandum describes how commodity entitlements are determined and allocated to states for meals served in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and Child and Adult Care Food Program.
