The USDA requires that all schools operating under the National School Lunch and/or National School Breakfast Program(s) must post signage explaining how to make a reimbursable meal.
ADAI, leaning on the input of the IDOE Division of School and Community Nutrition, created posters, with a fresh new look, to support you in meeting this requirement.

Lend a Hand, Stop the Hunger
Food insecure families often rely on multiple sources of food assistance. Free or reduced school meals are critical in providing much needed nutrition to children, but sometimes this isn’t enough. School hunger relief programs can help feed students and their families, even after the school day ends. Take time to consider whether a program like this is something your administration could implement.
