Resource Library

FRAC and the American Academy of Pediatrics created this resource to help pediatricians and their practice teams screen for food insecurity, connect families and nutrition resources, and support national and state policies increasing access to adequate healthy food for all children and their families.

Umbrella sponsors may be local government agencies, school districts, food banks, youth-serving organizations, and other private nonprofits. They fill a critical need by overseeing multiple, and often smaller, afterschool enrichment sites that need administrative support to participate in the Afterschool Meal Program.

Advocates can expand the Afterschool Meal Program and obtain federal reimbursement using proven outreach strategies, including promoting the program, building relationships with afterschool and out-of-school time provider networks, connecting sites to available community resources, and working closely with the state agency.
