Texas Department of Agriculture

Notes

Afterschool enrichment programs located in low-income neighborhoods can be reimbursed by the Texas Department of Agriculture for serving no-cost meals to children in their programs. The average number of meals served daily is reported as a proxy estimate for the number of children fed through the Afterschool Meals Program.

Texas Department of Agriculture found an issue affecting reliability of 2022-2023 school year data, so it has been excluded from annual report.
