SFSP Eligibility List for Open and Closed Enrolled Sites

In the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP), sponsors operating sites located in and drawing their attendance from needy areas can qualify to receive SFSP reimbursement for up to two meals served to children at the sites daily. These sites can operate as open, restricted open, or as closed enrolled sites located in a needy area. School data can be used to establish area eligibility for these types of sites. For a site to be determined area eligible, school data must indicate that the proposed meal site is located in a school attendance area where at least 50 percent of the children are eligible for free or reduced-price school meals.

The following list, divided by county, identifies schools meeting this criterion and can be used to qualify sites for the 2024 SFSP. Please note schools participating in areas where the local school is participating in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) during the school year and the individual schools reported (ISP) percentage is equal to or greater than 50 percent (actual ISP equal to or greater than 31.25 multiplied by the 1.6 multiplier) have been included on this list. These percentages are based on a particular month and may have changed since this posting. Therefore, if you have a school building that may qualify and is not on this list, please contact our office for assistance at cnsfsp@nysed.gov or 518-486-1086.
