Summer Food Service Program

Seamless Summer Option

The "Seamless Summer" is now a permanent option for school districts participating in the National School Lunch Program or School Breakfast Program.  Authorized by the Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act of 2004, the Seamless Summer Option streamlines the administrative and monitoring requirements for school districts operating a summer meal program children within their community.
