The Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) is
a federally funded program that reimburses
agencies for providing free, nutritious meals
and snacks to children in low-income areas
when children are out of school for at least 15
continuous school days.

These nutritious meals help children to learn,
play, and grow until they return to school. Meal
components must meet USDA requirements.

Steps to Become a Sponsor

To get started, the agency must contact a SFSP
specialist. The specialist will:

Provide additional SFSP information and
determine the best way a site may qualify
•
Obtain contact information to ensure
that the agency receives program information
•
Send the agency an SFSP Introduction packet.
The Introduction packet will provide forms needed to
obtain a Child Nutrition Information and Payment System
(CNIPS) user ID and temporary password to file an
application online.
Site Participation
TOM TORLAKSON

• Agencies that do not want to enter an
Agreement with the NSD to become a
sponsor, but wish to be a meal service site,
will need to find a sponsor in their area.
• Agencies may obtain a list of sponsors, by
county, from our Web site at:
http://www.cde.ca.gov/ds/sh/sn/summersites.asp
• Sites do not have to attend the NSD training
because they are trained by their sponsor.
