It's never too early to get
ready for Summer! Right now is a great time to learn more about the Summer Food
Service Program (SFSP), a federally funded nutrition program for children over
the summer months, when school meals are not available.
The Ohio Association of
Second Harvest Foodbanks and the Ohio Department of Education invite you to
join us at the upcoming SFSP Summit this month!
The event will be held on
Monday, January 30, 2012 at the Mid-Ohio
Foodbank in Grove City from 10:30 am to 3:30 pm.
RSVP
today by clicking here.
The Summit is for SFSP
Sponsors and organizations that are interested in learning more about the SFSP
and how to participate in their community. The summit will provide a great
opportunity to network, share best practices and hear from the experts, including
United States Department of Agriculture Under Secretary Kevin Concannon on how
to start or expand your program!
While child nutrition programs are
available during the school year, many children go hungry during the summer
months. The Summer Food Service Program, which was established to provide
children ages 1-18 breakfast, lunch, or a snack during the summer months,
operates out of schools, summer camps, park and recreation centers, and
churches and community centers in Ohio.
Join us on January 30th to learn more
about how you can become involved in the Summer Food Service Program in your
community!
