According to a release from the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, The Summer Food Service Program is looking for organizations that will be willing to serve nutritious meals to children who would likely go hungry during the months when school is not in session. The program reimburses these organizations for their effort.
Local governments, private nonprofit agencies, camps, faith-based organizations, and schools are all invited to participate in program. The sites must be located in areas where at least half of the children are eligible to receive free or reduced-price meals at school. The program is federally funded, and is administered through the state of Missouri. The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services will accept applications from March 1st through May 15th.
