At-Risk Afterschool Meals (ARAM) – Area Eligibility

Qualifying for Area Eligibility means that the Facility approved to participate in the NC CACFP to provide At-Risk Afterschool Meals is located where the base elementary, middle, or high school has 50% or more of the students qualifying for free and reduced-price meals for the National School Lunch Program (NSLP). 

The CACFP cannot accept CEP data for area eligibility. Please see the linked spreadsheet listing Free and Reduced-Price Meal percentages for each school separated by district. At-Risk Afterschool Meals (ARAM) facilities within the school’s attendance area are Area Eligible if the percentage listed is 50% or more.

Individual school data must be used to determine Area Eligibility, even if the school is participating in CEP as part of a group or district. This information is provided in the documents below.

For more information see CACFP Policy Memo 04-2017.
