Maryland is one of a limited number of states in the country with the At-Risk, Afterschool Meal Program! This program reimburses afterschool programs for nutritious meals served to children age 18 and under during the school-year (including weekends and school breaks).

Schools and child care centers are eligible to participate if they are located in an attendance area of a school in which at least 50 percent of enrolled children are eligible for free or reduced-price meals. Afterschool providers and schools interested in the opportunity to participate in the Afterschool Meals Program should contact MSDE.
