Food Distribution Program
MONTHLY SHIPPING MANIFESTS | PROCESSINGCALCULATORS | NET OFF INVOICING | CONTACT
The Food Distribution Program (FDP) for child nutrition programs provides entitlement and bonus USDA Foods to local agencies. Each agency’s allocation is based on the average daily participation and a per meal entitlement set for each program.
Over 4 million pounds of USDA donated products (commodities) valued at over $2 million are distributed in SD schools annually. In addition, over 720,000 pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables are distributed. The money to support this comes from a portion of USDA food entitlement. These are available to both public and non-public school food authorities participating in the National School Lunch Program. Summer Food Service organizations receive a very small commodity entitlement.
Receipt/Manifest Information
Upon receipt of your USDA Foods, check your cases off the truck and mark any short, over or damaged items on the Receipt/Manifest. Each school MUST return a signed and dated copy of their manifest to Child & Adult Nutrition Services. If USDA Foods were received in good condition, sign and date the Receipt/Manifest and return it to Child & Adult Nutrition Services fax 605-773-6846.
You are not required to keep something you did not order.
Items listed on your Receipt/Manifest are the items you should have received. This may not be what you ordered. Take the time to verify your order with the driver. There are times errors occur: items are in limited supply, encoding, loading trucks or in the delivering of the product. You may not have received everything you order. PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO VERIFY.
If you received something that you did not order, someone else may be expecting it. The trucking company should verify the order with you to determine if they will need to take product back to the warehouse.
MONTHLY SHIPPING MANIFESTS
Below is the manifest of USDA donated and processed food that will be shipped to each agency. Find the week your delivery is scheduled to arrive and click on the appropriate month to find your school's manifest. They are in alphabetical order. Find your week of delivery for the current month and click on that week. It will take a couple minutes to download.
When it opens, there may be small pages (thumbnails) on the left and a large page on the right. There are at least two way to enlarge the page if it is too small to read. Click on the "plus" button as many times as you need to enlarge the page until it is the size you can read. Click on the button with the right and left arrows (ó) and it should enlarge to fill the viewing section so you can read it.

Please note that this list includes both National School Lunch Program and Emergency Food Assistance Programs. The amount, kinds, and pack sizes of food is very different for the two programs.
Numbered policy/instruction memos:
USDA releases numbered policy memos which govern the programs in addition to the laws, regulations, and guidance manuals. The legislaion, regulations and policy memos can be found under its respective program on the USDA website. South Dakota no longer relases the numbered memos separately. Announcements are provided through email, bulletins, and newsletters with reference to the appropriate USDA website.
