A brief funding lesson:  Summer Eats/Summer Food Service Program is federally funded through the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and administered here by the Massachusetts Department of Early and Secondary Education (DESE).  (Yes - that’s a lot of acronyms!) 

Food 4 Kids has been an SFSP Sponsor serving the lower/outer Cape since the summer of 2013.  Each summer we are reimbursed a fixed amount for each 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.  In 2023 that federal funding covered about 62% of our expenses.
