Summer Food Service Program

Description

The Summer Food Service Program provides free meals to low-income children during school vacations. More than 26 million children eat school lunch every day when school is in session, and about half of them receive their meals free or at a reduced price due to low household income. The summer program offers those children nutritious food when school is not in session. During Summer 2011, Wisconsin served more than 2 million meals at 661 sites operated by 158 sponsoring organizations.
