The Summer Food Service Program is a federally-funded, state-administered program for kids ages 18 and under to receive free meals and snacks. SFSP reimburses programs who serve healthy meals to teens and children in not only the Harrisburg & West Shore area, but across the United States.

At most sites, teens & kids receive either one or two meals per day. Some camps and programs may serve up to three meals per child, each day.
