About the Agency The Texas Department of Agriculture administers 12 U.S. Department of Agriculture nutrition programs in Texas including the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs and the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP). TDA’s Food and Nutrition division provides technical assistance and training resources to partners operating the programs and oversees the USDA reimbursements they receive to cover part of the cost associated with serving food in their facilities. By working to ensure these partners serve nutritious meals and snacks, the division adheres to its mission — Feeding the Hungry and Promoting Healthy Lifestyles.

About the Dataset This dataset contains meal reimbursements to Contracting Entities (CEs) sponsoring sites participating in the Summer Feeding Service Program (SFSP) for summer 2017 (SNP program year 2016-2017). Summer feeding programs operate mid-May through the end of August.

This dataset contains sponsor-level meal reimbursements. Site-level meal counts are reported in the “Summer Feeding Programs – Summer Feeding Service Program (SFSP) – Meal Counts” dataset for the program year.

About Dataset Updates TDA aims to post new program year data by July 15 of the active program period. Participants have 60 days to file monthly claims. Dataset updates will occur monthly until 90 days after the close of the program period. After 90 days from the close of the program period, the dataset will be updated at six months and one year from the close of program period before becoming archived. Archived datasets will remain published but will not be updated. Any data posted during the active program year is subject to change.
