Summer Food Service Program
Free Summer Meals for Kids & Teens!
When schools are closed for the summer, families lose access to a critical source of food received through the National School Breakfast and School Lunch programs. Food Gatherers is the largest sponsor of the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) in Washtenaw County, which provides free summer meals for children and teens at sites located throughout the community.
The 2024 Summer Food Service Program was generously sponsored by Toyota, with support from Kroger, Lake Trust Credit Union, Kiwanis Club of Ann Arbor, and Rotary Club of Ann Arbor.
