The Community School Lunch Program

Abstract

Excerpt from the report: Congress—after careful consideration by both Houses—has again authorized the use of $50,000,000 for community school lunch programs during the fiscal year 1945. It was recognized that, with the United States at war, the problem of providing a nourishing noonday meal to millions of school youngsters was complicated by extraordinary conditions—millions of mothers were working at war jobs and the stresses and strains of all-out war were endangering the health of America's youth. Also, Congress was aware of the fact that the school lunch program continues to be an admirable outlet for agricultural commodities in seasonal abundance—thus tying-in with the price-support program. The school lunch program, from the beginning, has had the dual purpose of relieving want and providing support for farm prices.
