About the Dataset

In March 2020, USDA began allowing flexibility in nutrition assistance program policies in order to support continued meal access should the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) impact meal service operation. Flexibilities were extended into the 2020-2021 program year and allowed School Nutrition Programs to operate summer meal service programs through the end of the school year as needed.

The CEs and sites listed in this dataset may be operating under programs other than the School Nutrition Programs as part of the USDA's flexibilities during this period. Please refer to the
School Nutrition Program (SNP) Meal Reimbursement,
Seamless Summer Option (SSO) Meal Count, and Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) Meal Count datasets for Program Year 2020-2021 to confirm the program used to serve meals.
