Summer Food Service ProgramDescriptionThe Summer Food Service Program provides free meals to low-income children during school vacations. More than 26 million children eat school lunch every day when school is in session, and about half of them receive their meals free or at a reduced price due to low household income. The summer program offers those children nutritious food when school is not in session. Nationally, the SFSP serve approximately 2 million children a day during the summer. In summer 2006, Wisconsin served in excess of 1.5 million meals at more than 450 sites operated by 97 sponsoring organizations. Questions about the SFSP can be sent to Amy Kolano, (608) 266-7124.

What does this mean? In a nutshell, sponsors will receive reimbursement based on the number of meals served (by type), period! No more cost justification. Camp sponsors will still be paid based on the number of low-income children they serve; however again, determining reimbursement will not involve a program cost comparison. Interested in becoming a sponsor? For more information please contact Amy Kolano and click on the "How to Apply" link listed below. SFSP training for new and returning sponsors starts late February.
