Summer Food Service Participation, Meals, and Costs Data

Published by Food and Nutrition Service, Department of Agriculture | Department of Agriculture | Catalog Last Checked: May 05, 2026 at 11:51 PM | Dataset Last Updated: December 23, 2014
During the school year, many children receive free and reduced-price breakfast and lunch through the School Breakfast and National School Lunch Programs. What happens when school lets out? Hunger is one of the most severe roadblocks to the learning process. Lack of nutrition during the summer months may set up a cycle for poor performance once school begins again. Hunger also may make children more prone to illness and other health issues. The Summer Food Service Program is designed to fill that nutrition gap and make sure children can get the nutritious meals they need. This data set contains information on summer food service participation, meals served and cash payments provided by state.
