About the Dataset

This dataset contains contact and program participation information for all sites approved by TDA to operate the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) between October 2020 and September 2021. Traditional summer meal programs operate mid-May through the end of August.

Beginning October 2020, School Nutrition Program sponsors were given the option to use SFSP or SSO to provide school meals until the end of the sponsor's 2020-2021 school year. Traditional summer meal program service resumed at the end of the school year through September 2021 or until the start of the 2021-2022 school year, whichever was sooner.
