Summer Food Service Program

 

Just as learning does not end when school lets out, neither does the need for good nutrition. Children who aren’t hungry learn better, act better, and feel better.  The Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) helps children get the nutrition they need to learn, play and grow during summer months when they are out of school.  SFSP is administered at the Federal level by the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), an agency of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). State education agency administers SFSP in South Dakota through Child and Adult Nutrition Services.  More sponsors are needed at the local level in order to feed more hungry children during the summer months.  If your organization is interested, contact: Cassandra Rupe at (605) 773-3413 or e-mail at cassandra.rupe@state.sd.us.
