Menu Ideas to Boost Afterschool Meals Participation

Afterschool meals provide needed nutrition, but it can be difficult to put together menus that meet meal pattern requirements, align with sites' preparation and storage capacity, and appeal to kids and teens. This webinar talks through challenges as well as strategies and ideas, from snacks and shelf-stable suppers to hot meals. This webinar draws on the experience of a school district that sponsors both school and community sites as well as a non-profit sponsor that works with multiple vendors.

• Shannon Amos, Senior Director of Agency Programs, Children’s Hunger Alliance (OH)
• Sara Eugene, Program Development and Compliance Coordinator, Minneapolis Public Schools Culinary and Wellness Services (MN)
• Anne Ferreira, Menu Planner, Minneapolis Public Schools Culinary and Wellness Services (MN)
