The Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) provides free meals to children 18 and under at approved community sites during summer months when school is not in session, addressing the nutrition gap low-income children face when school meal programs are unavailable. Any child 18 or younger can eat free at open sites — no income verification or paperwork is required at the point of service. Sites are located at schools, community centers, parks, libraries, and other accessible locations in areas where at least 50% of children qualify for free or reduced-price school meals.
