To close the school vacation gap. Congress has authorized the the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) for the feeding of needy children, 18 years or younger, while schools are not in session.
During the school year, schools provide nutritious meals at free or reduced prices to needy children.
Organizations wishing to participate in the SFSP enter into an agreement with the Texas Department of Human Resources (TDHR), providing for the sponsorship of one or more sites where the food service can be made available.
Only public or private non-profit institutions are eligible to be a sponsor. Sites must draw attendance from
areas in which at least one-third of all children are eligible for free or reduced-price school meals under the State family-size and income standards.
In addition, sponsors are responsible for the quality of meal service and the performance of site personnel who must be properly trained. Staffing needs are determined by considering the method of meal preparation, the number of meal service sites, length of operations, and the number of children cipating. satisfy
