Where do children go for summer meals?
Many SFSP sites provide not just meals, but educational, enrichment and recreational activities that help children continue to learn and stay safe when school is not in session. Summer meals act as an extra magnet to draw children to activities – and activities draw children to meals – at places like: • schools • camps • boys and girls clubs • kids cafes • park and recreation centers • vacation bible schools • libraries • community pools • libraries • congregations • YMCAs • Head Start centers • hospitals • 21st century learning centers • National Youth Sports programs at colleges and universities • Upward Bound programs • 4-H Clubs • community action agencies • food banks • homeless shelters How do organizations participate? Even if you think your staff, time and resources are stretched too thin, your organization can still participate in the SFSP. Some organizations may not be able to sponsor the program, but they can supervise meals, recreation and enrichment activities for children
