National School Lunch Program

From its inception in 1946, the school lunch program has been making nutritious meals available to school children.

Welcome New York State Food Service Directors

Schools participating in the National School Lunch Program receive entitlement funds based on meal participation. These entitlement dollars are used to order USDA foods. If your school does not currently participate in the NSLP, contact the New York State Education Department at 518-473-8781 to begin the process.

Submit a USDA Commodity Complaint

If a product your organization receives does not meet expectations, raises food safety concerns, or is damaged or otherwise out of condition, please submit a complaint.
