Sponsor/Site Responsibilities
Site Responsibilities Meals must be served in the arranged timeframe. Meals may not be taken off-site. In other words, a child cannot take a lunch and leave. A fruit /vegetable item may be taken, however. Meals can be eaten outside or inside, where there is an adult with the program present. Each child may have one meal and if there are extras, a second meal. The sponsor is only reimbursed for a percentage of all second meals, so this practice should be used judiciously.
