Program Description
The Special Milk Program encourages the consumption of milk by children in public and private nonprofit schools, and in nonprofit residential or non-residential childcare institutions, provided they do not also participate in other Federal meal service programs. However, schools in the National School Lunch or School Breakfast Programs which operate split-session pre-kindergarten and kindergarten programs may participate in the Special Milk Program to provide milk to children in those programs who do not have access to the lunch or breakfast programs.
