Description of Program and Relief

Summer Food Service Program

The Summer Food Service Program (“SFSP”) provides free meals to children in low-income areas during the summer when school meals are not available. NDDPI has received a waiver from USDA to allow schools to offer the SFSP during unanticipated school closures, such as now.

Summer Food sites can operate as open programs, which means they can serve any children that show up for a meal. This includes children from other, non-eligible schools (or communities) and any children not enrolled in school (age 1 and older).

The SFSP serves children up to age 18 or older if receiving special education services. Meals are served free of charge and the meal requirements are much simpler than school lunch or breakfast. Eligible sites may claim 2 meals/day.
