F4K works to alleviate childhood hunger
on the lower/outer Cape and beyond
by bringing together
the Church of the Holy Spirit
and local communities
to provide free meals
for children and teens
in the summer when schools are out
The Funding Partners
Who Make It All Possible!
A brief funding lesson:  The Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) is federally funded through the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and administered here by the Massachusetts Department of Early and Secondary Education (DESE).  (Yes - that's a lot of acronyms!)

Food 4 Kids has been an SFSP Sponsor serving the lower/outer Cape since the summer of 2013.  Each summer we are reimbursed a fixed amount for each meal a child receives.  The reimbursement rate/meal is set by the USDA and is the same across all 50 states, regardless of variations in the cost to prepare and deliver the meals.  

This year that federal funding will cover about 60% of our expenses.
