The at-risk afterschool meals component of the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) offers Federal funding to afterschool programs that serve a meal or snack to children in low-income areas.

Reimbursement for at-risk afterschool snacks has been available since the 1990s. However, reimbursement for at-risk afterschool meals was available only in a few States. The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 (P.L. 111-296) expanded the availability for at-risk afterschool meals to all States.
