The program is funded by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and administered by the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) .  \nWho Can Sponsor the Summer Food Service Program?  \nSponsors must be organizations fully capable of managing a food service program. To be a sponsor, you must follow regulations and be financially and administratively responsible for running your program.  \nThe following types of organizations are eligible to sponsor SFSP:  \n• Public or private nonprofit schools  \n• Units of local, municipal, county, tribal, or state government  \n• Private nonprofit organizations  \n• Public or private nonprofit camps  \n• Public or private nonprofit universities or colleges  \nWhat Is a Site?  \nA site is the physical location, approved by ISBE, where SFSP meals are served during a supervised time period.  \nThere are five types of sites:  \n• Open—At least half the children in the area are eligible for free and reduced-price school meals  \n• Enrolled—At least half the children in the area are eligible for free and reduced-price school meals  \n• Camp—Offers a regularly scheduled food service as part of a residential or day camp program  \n• Migrant—Primarily serves children of migrant workers  \n• NYSP—A college or university participating in the National Youth Sports Program (NYSP)  \nMeal service sites may be in located in a variety of settings, including schools, recreation centers, playgrounds, parks, churches, community centers, day camps, residential summer camps, housing projects, and migrant centers, or on Indian reservations.  \n[isbe](isbe.net)[.net](isbe.net)  \nWho Is Eligible to Receive Free Meals?  \nThe following are eligible to receive free meals:  \n• All children 18 years of age or younger who come to an approved open site or to an eligible enrolled site may receive meals.  \n• At camps, only children eligible for free and reduced-price meals may receive SFSP meals.  \n• People over age 18 enrolled in school programs for persons with disabilities may also receive meals.  \nHow Many Reimbursable Meals Can Be Served?  \nMost sponsors may be approved to receive reimbursement for up to two meals per day. Eligible meals are breakfast, a. m. snack, lunch, p. m. snack, and supper. The only combination not eligible for reimbursement is lunch and supper. If your site primarily serves migrant children, or you run a residential or day camp, you may be eligible to serve up to three reimbursable meals each day. If you run a camp, you may claim reimbursement only for the meals served to a child who qualifies for free and reduced-price meals.  \nHow Are SFSP Meals Prepared?  \nA sponsor may prepare its own meals, purchase meals through an agreement with an area school, or contract for meals with a food service management company (vendor) . If your site has its own kitchen, you may want to prepare meals yourself. If your kitchen is not on the premises, you may still want to prepare your own meals and then transport them to the site. Meals you prepare yourself receive a slightly higher rate of reimbursement.  \nMany government and private nonprofit sponsors lack the kitchen facilities to prepare meals themselves. In that case, you may arrange to purchase meals from a school or another public or private food supplier with approved meal preparation facilities.  \nFour Ways to Participate in the Program  \n1. Be a Sponsor— Make an investment in the children in your community. If your organization already provides services to the community and has capable staff and good management practices to run a food service, you can administer SFSP.  \n2. Run a Site—Some organizations do not have the financial or administrative ability to run the program, but they can supervise a food service ","cbCailitxfRWaifC","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailitxfRWaifC","pdf",2847176,"English","# What Is the Purpose?\n# Who Can Sponsor the Summer Food Service Program?\n# What Is a Site?\n## Site Types\n# Who Is Eligible to Receive Free Meals?\n# How Many Reimbursable Meals Can Be Served?\n# How Are SFSP Meals Prepared?\n# Four Ways to Participate in the Program\n# Obtaining Reimbursement for Summer Food Service Program Meals","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP)?\",\"answer\":\"SFSP is intended to serve nutritious meals during summer months when school is not in session.
