The School Breakfast Program (SBP) provides federal reimbursements to participating schools and residential child care institutions to offer free or reduced-price nutritious breakfasts to eligible children each school day. Children from low-income households receive free breakfast based on the same income thresholds used by the National School Lunch Program. Research consistently shows that students who eat breakfast perform better academically and have better attendance and health outcomes.
