According to the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture: "SFSP is the single largest resource available for local sponsors who want to combine a feeding program with a summer activity program. During the school year, nutritious meals are available through the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs. But those programs end when school ends for the summer. SFSP helps fill the hunger gap."
