The Summer Food Service Program is administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). It is designed to ensure that children have access to nutritious meals during the summer months when school is not in session.

In accordance with Federal civil rights law and USDA regulations, the program prohibits discrimination based on race, color, national origin, sex, disability, age, or reprisal or retaliation for prior civil rights activity in any program or activity conducted or funded by USDA.
