The South Dakota Department of Education is currently seeking sponsors for its Summer Food Service Program. This program aims to provide nutritious meals to children in low-income areas during the summer months when school is not in session. By partnering with local organizations, the Department of Education can ensure that children have access to meals that they may not otherwise receive.
Sponsors for the Summer Food Service Program can be a variety of organizations, including schools, non-profit organizations, local governments, and faith-based groups. These sponsors play a critical role in identifying locations where meals can be served and promoting the program to ensure that families in need are aware of the services available to them.
In addition to providing meals, the Summer Food Service Program also offers educational and recreational activities to keep children engaged and active during the summer break. This holistic approach helps address food insecurity and prevents the academic regression that can occur when children are out of school.
The Department of Education encourages interested organizations to apply to become sponsors for the Summer Food Service Program. By participating in this program, sponsors can make a positive impact on the lives of children in their communities and help ensure that no child goes hungry during the summer months.
For more information on how to become a sponsor for the Summer Food Service Program, visit the South Dakota Department of Education website or contact the department directly. Together, we can work towards ending childhood hunger and ensuring that all children have access to nutritious meals year-round.
