Has your library considered being a SFSP site?
This summer we will see greater need in
our communities than ever before. Please go to
MDE’s Summer Food Service Program to learn how to apply, resources, and more.
You can also watch LM’s 2018 webinar on libraries being a SFSP site:
Meet Up & Eat Up: Summer Food Services Program - Presenters: Cathy Lancaster, Library of Michigan and Sara Harmon, Michigan Department of Education. The Michigan Department of Education aims to
feed the whole child the whole year. Join the Meet Up and Eat Up Summer Food Service Program Staff to learn about expanding the SFSP to your area. The webinar covers SFSP basics, requirements for sponsors who operate the SFSP, sites who provide healthy meals
to children, and site activity options. (Recorded 4.19.18)
