IDOE seeks organizations to serve summer meals to children

    0

    The Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) is looking for schools and other organizations interested in serving students meals during the summer months when school is out of session.

    The 2023 Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) reimburses sponsors that serve meals to students 18 and younger. Last year, sponsors served over 2 million meals to children.

    Sponsors can be nonprofit groups, summer camps, religious organizations, or private and public groups. Those interested can also partner with pre-existing sponsors such as school corporations. They can also offer activities for students in addition to serving meals.

    SFSP is funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and administered by individual states. Applications for new sponsors are due by April 30. Those interested in applying can go to portal here.
