Program Description

Just as learning does not end when school lets out, neither does the need for good nutrition. Children who aren't hungry learn better, act better and feel better. The Colorado Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) helps children get the nutrition they need during the summer. Summer food programs provide nutritious meals to children in need and, when coupled with recreation and tutoring programs, offer a tremendous benefit to those in need.
