The Child Nutrition Outreach Program at Project Bread

The Child Nutrition Outreach Program (CNOP) is a free service administered by Project Bread through a contract with the Massachusetts Department of Elementary & Secondary Education. Since 1994, the CNOP has worked to increase participation in the School Breakfast and Summer Food Service Programs throughout the state. Though CNOP staff are available to assist all school districts within MA, the program targets approximately 40 low-income communities that have a high percentage of children eligible for free and reduced price school meals to ensure that these children participate in the federal nutrition programs.
