SUMMER FOOD SERVICE PROGRAM
2020
​
The Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) was designed to provide free meals to children during the summer months. When schools let out for the summer, many children are at risk of hunger and malnutrition. The lack of nutrition during the summer months can result in poor performance once the school year begins and makes children more prone to illnesses and other health issues. SFSP is designed to fill that nutrition gap and make sure children can get the nutritious meals they need. All children under the age of 18 are eligible to receive a free meal. SFSP is funded by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and administered by the South Carolina Department of Education (SCDE).
​
Two Ways to Participate in the Program
​
Run a Site— Some organizations do not have the financial or administrative ability to run the program, but they can supervise a food service for children, along with recreational or enrichment activities, at a site.
​
Volunteer—Even if your organization cannot take on the responsibilities of a sponsor or a site, you can team up with a sponsor to provide any activity that makes summer fun!
