Summer Food Service Program
The United States Department of Agriculture's Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) was established to ensure that low-income children continue to receive nutritious meals when school is not in session. Free meals, that meet Federal nutrition guidelines, are provided to all children 18 years old and under at approved SFSP sites in areas with significant concentrations of low-income children.
This important program is coordinated locally by the Northwest Tri-County Intermediate Unit (IU5). Last year, IU5 and its partners served nearly 83,000 meals, free of charge, to local children. This year, Edinboro University has graciously agreed to be the primary meal supplier, preparing thousands of nutritious meals for kids who might otherwise go hungry this summer.
Schools or families may use any of the following methods to locate sites that serve free meals to children during the summer:
• Call 211
• Call 1.866.3Hungry (1-866-348-6479) or 1.877.8Hambre (1-877-842-6273)
• Text “FOOD” or “COMIDA” to 304-304 during the summer months
• Text “SUMMER MEALS” or “VERANO” to 914-342-7744.
