Summer Food Service Program (SFSP)
The SFSP ensures that children in low-income areas continue to have access to nutritious meals during long school vacations, when they do not have access to school lunch or breakfast. A FBO/CBO that conducts a regularly scheduled program for children from areas in which poor economic conditions exist may be eligible to participate in the SFSP, if it is a nonprofit:
-
school food authority,
-
residential summer camp, or
-
college or university that participates in the National Youth Sports Program during the months of May to September.
Other nonprofit FBOs/CBOs are eligible to participate under certain conditions.
FBOs/CBOs apply to the responsible
State agency for each state in which they wish to participate. |
