Summer Food Service Program (SFSP)

To find a summer meals site near you, click on this link and follow the directions http://www.fns.usda.gov/summerfoodrocks

The Summer Food Service Program was established to ensure low-income children continue to receive nutritious meals during the summer months when school is not in session. Free meals that meet the federal nutritional guidelines are provided to all children 18 years old and younger at approved SFSP sites in areas with significant concentrations of low-income children.

Schools may review the Seamless Summer Option to reduce paperwork and streamline the management of your program.
