Featured Resource: Summer Food Service Program

The Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) is a U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Child Nutrition Program established to ensure that low-income children, ages 18 and younger, continue to receive nutritious meals when school is not in session.

There are hundreds of locations across Arizona where a nutritious meal can be found when school is not in session.
