Child Nutrition Outreach Program

The Child Nutrition Outreach Program (CNOP) works to increase participation in two underutilized federal child nutrition programs, the National School Breakfast Program and the Summer Food Service Program (known as Summer Eats in Massachusetts). For over 20 years, we have worked directly with school districts, SFSP sponsors, and communities to prov... ide technical assistance and innovative solutions to ensure these programs make the most impact on the children who need them. Together, we strive to ensure that all children in Massachusetts have access to nutritious meals, both in school and during the summer months. CNOP is funded by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education and administered by Project Bread. We know that starting a breakfast program, changing breakfast models, or increasing participation takes work. That's why CNOP is available to provide individualized support to any school in Massachusetts. Our FREE school breakfast services include: Tools to analyze the financial viability of changes to breakfast menus, service models, or staffing Whether you're looking to start a Summer Eats program or you've been serving your community for 20 years, CNOP can provide individualized support to any sponsor or site in Massachusetts.
