Who Can Become A Meal Service Site?

Meal service sites may be 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.

Some organizations do not have the financial or administrative ability to run the program, but they can supervise a food service for children, along with recreational or enrichment activities, at a site. If you supervise a site, you will:

• Attend your sponsor’s training
• Supervise activities and meal service at your site
• Manage volunteers
• Distribute meals by following SFSP guidelines
• Keep daily records of meals served
• Store food appropriately
• Keep the site clean and sanitary
• Help your sponsor promote the program in the community
