Why is the Summer Meals Program So Important?
- The USDA
provides free or reduced-price lunches to 22 million children from
low-income families during the school year.
- During summer
break, those children no longer have access to those meals because they
are out of school.
-
The Summer Food
Service Program (SFSP) was created to fill the meal gap when school is not in session but only about 17%
(3.5 million) of children who receive free or reduced-price
lunches participate in SFSP.
