The National School Lunch Program (NSLP), which originated in 1935 when commodities were first donated to schools, serves about 25 million school children each school day. Although we are ultimately interested in the impact of this program on the diets of program participants, this article addresses the more limited issue of school feeding participation. This analysis provides information on low-income participation in the program, and, subsequently, helps us to understand how changes in school feeding programs may affect our school-age population.Reference Type
