The school lunch program, initiated at the federal level and in partnership with the states, is designed to safeguard the health and well-being of the nation's children and to encourage the domestic consumption of nutritious agricultural commodities and other food by assisting the states, through grants-in-aid and other means, in providing an adequate supply of foods and facilities for the operation of the nonprofit school lunch program.
