[OPLINLIST] Two timely SFSP webinars next week

[jdwyer at library.ohio.gov]

Cross-posted. Please excuse duplication.

These two free webinars, both taking place next week, sound like they will be helpful if your library has served as a Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) site, and/or you wish to be a site this summer, and you're concerned about the expiration of the USDA child nutrition waivers.

SFSP 101: Back to Basics & USDA Update
Tuesday, April 26, 3:00 p.m. ET

Ready to go back to basics? Join No Kid Hungry for a refresher on "usual" (non-waiver) summer meals operations and a regulatory update from USDA. Summer 2022 will look different from summer 2020 and 2021 operations. Waivers previously used to serve grab & go and bulk style meals are no longer available. This webinar will remind providers of summer meals "basics" as we approach summer 2022 operations. There will be time at the end of the presentations for audience Q&A with No Kid Hungry and USDA.
