No Kid Hungry<https://www.nokidhungry.org/>’s Center for Best Practices<https://bestpractices.nokidhungry.org/> has created a space just for libraries<https://bestpractices.nokidhungry.org/programs/summer-and-afterschool-meals-libraries>. This new webpage houses information for libraries nationwide on the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP, or Summer Meals) and the Child and Adult Care Food Program At-Risk Afterschool Meal Program (CACFP At-Risk, or Afterschool Meals). Learn more about each program and how libraries can share their strengths to increase access to healthy food in their communities. Planning and implementation resources are also available, along with training opportunities.

Check out the webpage today:

This new resource aligns with and links to the CSLP’s Libraries & Summer Food<https://www.cslpreads.org/libraries-and-summer-food/> how-to guide, which is a thorough, clear step-by-step guide for libraries wishing to participate in or support summer meals.
Also, the State Library’s SFSP webpage<https://library.ohio.gov/services-for-libraries/library-programs-development/youth-services/summer-food-service-program/> provides a collection of state-specific links, instructions, and ideas.

Thank you for all you do to support the children and families in your community.

Sincerely,
Janet
