When school is out and parents are still at work, children need a safe place to be with their friends, with structured activities, and supportive adults. Afterschool care programs that serve meals draw children and teenagers into constructive activities that are safe, fun, and filled with opportunities for learning. The meals give them the nutrition they need to learn, play, and grow.

In West Virginia, many qualifying sponsors currently offer at risk snack to their children. The OCN can also provide reimbursement for suppers in afterschool care programs. USDA reimburses suppers in afterschool programs in West Virginia that:

• Are located at sites where at least half of the children in the school attendance area are eligible for free and reduced price school meals.
• Offer educational or enrichment activities, after the regular school day ends or on week-ends, during times of the year when school is in session.
• Meet licensing, health, or safety codes that are required by state or local law.
• Serve nutritionally balanced meals that meet USDA's nutrition standards, with foods like milk, meat, vegetables, fruit, and bread.

Reimbursable suppers can be served to children and teenagers through age 18. There are no application forms for parents or guardians to fill out. All afterschool care suppers are served in group settings, at no cost to the child. Either snack or supper or both can be an integral part of a sponsor's child nutrition program.
