SFSP Description

Food That’s In When School is Out!

Through the SFSP children may receive up to 2 meals, one meal and a snack, or 2 snacks every day. SFSP is the single largest federally funded program available for sponsors who can combine a feeding program with a summer activity program. The program is funded through the USDA and administered by the State of Nevada Department of Education Office of Child Nutrition and School Health.

Sponsors can be public or private schools, government entities, private nonprofit organizations, public or private nonprofit camps, public or private nonprofit universities or colleges, or community and faith-based organizations. Feeding sites may be at a school, recreation center, playground, faith-based organization, community center, day camp, residential summer camp, housing projects, migrant camps, or on Indian reservations.
