The Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) is a federally-funded, state-administered program that provides payments for nutritious meals served to children at approved sites that meet eligibility requirements during vacation periods from the school year.
State agencies are a critical link in achieving program integrity by ensuring compliance with program regulations, providing training, and conducting oversight reviews of sponsors and sites. State agencies are responsible for ensuring that program operations are being managed effectively, nutritious meals are served to the intended population, and meals are being counted and claimed properly.
