Delaware education officials are actively recruiting sponsors and locations to participate in a federal initiative designed to feed children from disadvantaged communities during summer break.
The Summer Food Service Program represents a federally-funded effort managed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture at the national level, with Delaware’s Department of Education overseeing local implementation throughout the First State.
This initiative specifically focuses on reaching youngsters in economically disadvantaged neighborhoods to guarantee they receive proper nutrition during the months when school meal programs are unavailable.
Organizations interested in becoming program sponsors or communities wanting to host meal distribution sites are encouraged to connect with state education officials to learn about participation requirements and application procedures.
