Description of Program and Relief

Summer Food Service Program

Delaware’s Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) is a USDA federally-funded program administered by Delaware that operates during the summer months when school is not in session. The program provides free, nutritious meals and snacks to children. In light of COVID-19, the federal government has recently approved Delaware’s SFSP on a non-congregate basis. This means that Delaware can choose to deliver meals provided through this program directly to homes rather than creating meal sites where eligible individuals can pick theEm up.
