The Summer Food Service Program (SFSP), also known as SUN Meals, is funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and administered by the Department. The program reimburses sponsoring organizations for costs to provide meals for children 18 years of age and younger during periods when they are out of school. Summer meal sites provide activities, education, and services.
