The Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) is designed to offer nutritionally balanced, high quality meals to children during summer vacations, interim, and off-track periods. The program is particularly targeted to low-income children who may not have adequate nutrition when schools are not in session.
The SFSP provides meals to children 18 years and younger at approved sponsored sites. These meals must meet the same nutritional standards as the other Child Nutrition Programs. Meals served include breakfast, lunch, supplements, and supper depending on the type of service site. Up to three meals per child per day may be reimbursed.
A program sponsor may be any of the following types of organizations and may provide the program in one or more places:- A public or private nonprofit School Food Authority;
- A public or private nonprofit residential summer camp;
- A unit of local (municipal or county) government; or
- A private nonprofit organization that regularly serves the public.
