Sponsors Needed for Summer Food Service Program
The Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) is seeking sponsors for the 2016 Summer Food Service Program (SFSP). The SFSP, a federally funded child nutrition program, was established to ensure that children in lower-income areas would continue to receive nutritious meals during long school vacations, when they do not have access to school meals.
Sponsorship is open to public and private nonprofit schools, residential and non-residential summer camps, private nonprofit organizations, tribal organizations, and units of local, county, municipal, and state government. Colleges and universities that participate in the Upward Bound Program may also sponsor meal sites.
Interested organizations are encouraged to register for training at the
SFSP website
, which will take place in April and May and is a requirement for participation. Applications will be available
online
mid-spring.
Contact OSPI at 360-725-6202 for more information.
