Summer Food Service Program

2020 Mandatory Summer Food Service Program Sponsor Training for All Sponsors

Sponsor training is mandatory for all experienced and potential new Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) sponsors. The New York State Education Department (SED), will conduct six training workshops in March and April. SED will offer separate training webinars for experienced sponsors and potential new sponsors. Training locations and webinar dates are listed on the link below; your attendance at the webinar fulfills the sponsor training requirement.

2020 SFSP Sponsors to be Reviewed

The New York State Education Department (SED) review process is required by Part 7 CFR, Section 225 of the Federal regulations for sponsors administering the SFSP. The objective of the review process is to ensure program compliance through the evaluation of the sponsor’s program operations by observing site operations and conducting a fiscal audit of the SFSP administration. SED reviews all SFSP sponsors a minimum of once every three years.

2020 Area Eligible List to Qualify 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 closed enrolled in a needy area. School data can be used to establish area eligibility for these types of sites.
