is a federally funded program operated
nationally by the USDA and administered
by the Iowa Bureau of Nutrition Programs.

Rec Depts or schools. Extension and
Scouting programs may also enhance SFSP
operation.
Open and Enrolled Sites

children in the area are eligible for free or reduceprice school meals.
