Shepherd Food Bank is pleased to announce a new funding opportunity for Summer
Food Service Program Sponsors looking to increase the number of meals served at
open sites in their communities. We are looking to support innovative ideas or tried-and-true
best practices to enhance summer meal access by reimbursing costs not
covered by the USDA.
Mini
Grants will be available to sponsors for:
- Food costs associated with providing higher quality,
more kid-friendly meals with an emphasis on fresh fruits and vegetables
- Transportation
costs associated with serving multiple sites or providing busing options
for participants
- Outreach
costs for enhanced marketing and advertising to eligible families
- Staffing
and/or enrichment costs associated with providing regular activities and
engaging participating children
