2011 Summer Home Delivery & Food Backpacks Demo Projects

The Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) was created to provide nutrition benefits during the summer to children living in low-income areas. These children were thought to be at risk of hunger or nutritional deficiencies when they were not receiving free or reduced price meals in school. This has been further supported by research demonstrating that food insecurity among children increases during the summer months.
