Summer Food Program 2025
Registration is open now, the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) is a federal program that provides free, healthy meals to children 1 year to 18 during school breaks and summer vacations. The program aims to ensure children in low-income areas continue to receive nutritious meals when school is not in session.
WHO IS ELIGIBLE?
Children are eligible when they are no longer receiving services from a pre-school/Head
Start Program, Childcare/Daycare or attending summer school where meals are provided.
Those children ONLY become eligible once services have ended. Children attending Boys & Girls Club are eligible as long as they pick up their own meals. Once this form is submitted for each child, they will automatically be registered for summer meals. Meals will be available for pick up at the site you register them for. If you need to switch pick up location, please allow 1 week before meals can be picked up at the new site.
All children must be registered before they can receive meals.
Online Registration closes May 23,2025.
