SFSP Training  

The Michigan Department of Education (MDE) is offering in-person trainings for 2023. All sponsors planning to participate in SFSP 2023 are required to attend an in-person SFSP sponsor training, even if you completed the training last year. Any new staff in key positions are also encouraged to participate in the SFSP trainings offered. Links to register are posted in the Training Section below.

Great News! We have added a training on Tuesday, April 11, 2023, in Lansing.

Rural/Non-congregate Meal Service 

For the summer of 2023, rural areas with no congregate meal service available may elect to operate a non-congregate meal service. Sponsors can determine if a site is eligible by looking at the county rural designation map or the county list located on the SFSP Resources webpage.

If you are interested in serving meals using the rural/non-congregate option, please email MDE-SFSP@michigan.gov. A member of the SFSP team will contact you to get information on the site(s) you are planning to use this option for and schedule a technical assistance call. All sponsors using this option will be required to complete a program integrity plan before meal service begins.
