Program Provides Free, Healthy Meals and Snacks for Children
Program open to all youth age 18 and under to fill the nutritional gap during the summer months.
Many Illinois families depend on their children’s schools to provide regular, healthy meals. The Illinois State Board of Education manages the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) to provide children continued access to free and nutritious meals and snacks during the summer months when school is out.
The SFSP program serves children and teens age 18 and younger.
To find a meal site near you, call (800) 359-2163, text “FoodIL” to 877-877 or visit http://summerfeedingillinois.org/.
“Children need healthy food during the summer as much as they need it during the school year,” said State Superintendent of Education Tony Smith, Ph.D. “The Summer Food Service Program brings critical resources to communities across the state and helps all our children stay ready to learn. ISBE is proud to administer the Summer Food Service Program.”
