The Iowa Department of Education announced it is seeking sponsors for a federally funded program that provides meals and snacks to children in low-income areas of the state during the summer months. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Summer Food Service Program (SFSP), administered by the Iowa Department of Education, helps youths and adults with mental or physical disabilities access meals and snacks during summer break. Typical sponsors include public or nonpublic schools, public or private nonprofit colleges and universities, private nonprofit organizations and camps, and local, county, municipal, state or federal agencies. The summer meals are often served at locations including summer enrichment programs, parks and recreation programs, library programming or near the local swimming pool. More information about sponsoring is available on the Summer Food Service website.
