A key part of No Kid Hungry's strategy is to expand participation in the federal summer meals programs. This summer we are offering grants to schools and community organizations that are serving rural communities by providing non-congregate feeding models(*) as part of the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) or Seamless Summer Option (SSO). Our average grant award will range between $10,000 - $15,000. Grant amounts will vary depending on program need and alignment with focus areas.    *Please note, SFSP & SSO rural non-congregate feeding models must be approved by the New York State Education Department. Additional guidance can be found here or by contacting your Child Nutrition Program Representative.
