June marks the busiest month for the Summer Food Service Program, with many families seeking help finding nutrition resources for their children. To recognize the importance of helping make sure all children have access to nutritious meals over the summer, Governor Eric J. Holcomb issued a statewide proclamation declaring the week of June 5-11 Summer Food Service Program Week. Site locations and meal service times vary throughout Indiana, and locations range from parks and community centers to schools, churches and mobile feeding sites. Meals must be consumed on site. For more than 40 years, the Summer Food Service Program has provided children ages 18 and under with access to free, nutritious meals and snacks during the summer months. The Summer Food Service Program is a federal nutrition program funded by the United States Department of Agriculture and administered by the Indiana Department of Education. The program is designed to meet the needs of low-income children in areas where children may have limited access to good nutrition.
