Two nutritionally balanced meals will be provided daily (Monday- Friday) to all children regardless of race, color, sex, disability, age, or national origin, during summer vacation when school cafeterias are not accessible. All children, 18 years old and younger, are eligible for meals at no charge.
This program is approved to operate exclusively in geographic areas where demographics demonstrate low household incomes or where 50 percent or more of the children qualify for free and reduced price meals during the school year.
The Summer Food Service Program for Children is a federally-funded program operated nationally by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and administered by the Florida Department of Education. This program is designed to provide meals when school is not in session and is implemented in communities where at least 50% of the residents are living below the poverty level.
In its first year as a Summer Food Service Program sponsor, Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida recruited, qualified, trained, and partnered with eight community centers, summer camps and churches to serve a total of 26,224 meals to needy children living in economically disadvantaged neighborhoods. The program operated from June 9, 2008 through August 15, 2008 - a total of 49 operating days - yielding an average of 535 meals served daily.
