The Boston Public Schools Food and Nutrition Services serves more than 13 million meals to students at 126 Boston Public Schools and offsite locations annually through three primary programs during the school year: a) Breakfast through the National School Lunch Program; b) Lunch through the National School Lunch Program; c) After School Meals (Child and Adult Care Food Program-CACFP) at school and youth-serving program locations. The revenue reimbursement for these programs are managed through the School Lunch Grant.
