This Instruction is to establish the policy for distributing donated foods to camps participating in the Summer Food Service Program.
The rapid growth of multi-state sponsoring organizations over 'the past several years has presented administering agencies (both state agencies and Food and Nutrition Service regional offices) with new problems in reviewing and approving administrative budgets.
A state agency may make payment for meals served in accordance with provisions of the program in the calendar month preceding the calendar month in which the agreement is executed. This provision applies only to center programs and to home programs which are renewing their agreements. The agreements of new home sponsoring organizations may not be backdated.
