National School Lunch Program (NSLP)

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) is a federally assisted meal program operating in public and nonprofit private schools and residential childcare institutions. It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost, or free lunches to children each school day. The NSLP was established under the National School Lunch Act, signed by President Harry Truman in 1946.

In Ohio, as in other states, the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) operates to provide nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to eligible children during school days. The program is federally funded and administered at the state level by the Ohio Department of Education. Eligibility for free or reduced-price meals is determined by federal guidelines, which consider household income and family size. Schools participating in the NSLP receive cash subsidies and donated commodities from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) for each meal they serve. In return, they must serve lunches that meet Federal meal pattern requirements and offer free or reduced-price lunches to eligible children. The goal of the NSLP in Ohio is to ensure that all students have access to healthy meals during the school day, which supports their ability to learn and thrive academically.
