School Breakfast Program (SBP) Outreach
SFAs must inform families of the availability of reimbursable breakfasts served under the School Breakfast Program (SBP) at the beginning and throughout the school year. The goal of providing school breakfast outreach is to increase participation in the SBP. Access the School Nutrition Outreach Toolkit through DPI Team Nutrition.
Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) Outreach
All SFAs are required to inform households before the end of the school year of the availability and location of meals offered through the SFSP. Outreach for SFSP must be completed by all SFAs regardless of whether SFSP is offered by the SFA itself.
Acceptable outreach activities inform families about the availability and location of summer meals prior to the end of the school year. SFAs distribute information through means normally used to communicate with households of enrolled children. This may include newsletters, automatic calling and texting services, email, or mailings.
SFAs can inform families of free summer meal locations by promoting the following:
- Summer Meals Site Finder
- Call 2-1-1
- 2-1-1 is a free, easy to remember phone number connecting callers with health and human services in their community.
- Text "SFSP" to 914-342-7744
- 2025 Summer Food Service Program Sponsors: A complete list of all agencies that participate in the SFSP. If a sponsor has sites that are open to community participation, they will be displayed within the Site Finder map, upon approval.
Note: The 304-304 texting number is no longer in use! Please update outreach resources developed by your agency.
