NutritionSummer Food Service ProgramThe Summer Food Service Program (SFSP), formerly known as Summer Sack Lunch, is funded by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and was established in 1968 to respond to growing research that correlated a child’s nutrition with academic success and concerns about the lack of nutrition resources for children during the summer months. The City of Seattle has operated this program in Seattle since the early 1970s. The program provides no-cost breakfasts, lunches, and snacks for kids and teens ages 1-18. This 2012 program is expected to run from Monday, June 25 to Friday, August 24. The meals are served to children at approved sites where at least half the children are eligible for free or reduced price school lunches.
