Food 4 Kids has been a USDA Summer Food Service Program Sponsor serving the Lower and Outer Cape since the summer of 2013. Each summer, we are reimbursed a fixed amount for each first-serving meal a child receives. The reimbursement rate/meal is set by the USDA and is the same across all 50 states, regardless of variations in the cost to prepare and deliver the meals. Food costs on Cape Cod are 29% higher than the national average. In 2024, this was 47% of our expenses. Visit How we are funded page for more details.

We rely on grants from the state, Project Bread, Cape Cod funding agencies, town human services, local businesses and associations, and faith-based organizations, as well as individual donations to help us bridge the gap.
