The Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) runs throughout the summer months providing FREE lunches to SCHOOL-AGED CHILDREN. The Gallatin Valley Food Bank is the local sponsor for the State Office of Public Instruction to provide this program in Gallatin County.
This year there will be two new exciting additions to the program! Last year a Campus Compact Volunteer designed a Summer Lunch Activities Manual that focused on nutrition education, fun with food, conservation, and many more fun-filled, hands-on learning activities. We will have these hands-on activities and other events at both summer lunch locations. Join us for a good meal and then fun-filled activities and special events all summer long!
We’ll also be using fresh garden produce from our own garden and other local growers in our meals served in a kid-friendly fashion. Food items like kale chips and zuccinni sticks made their way into the weekly menu last summer and the kids loved it!
