Summer Food Track | CEU Specialty 8
A Collaborative Approach to Summer Meals
Delivery of the SFSP by community sponsors can result in patchwork approaches, duplication of efforts, and insufficient reach of many eligible children, particularly where the sponsors are not schools. A unique collaborative of sponsors working together for over 10 years, the Summer Meals Collaborative (SMC), represents an effective model for addressing SFSP challenges.
- Identify the challenges and barriers associated with delivering the SFSP.
- Discover valuable research opportunities that exist within the SMC.
- Explore how this model could be replicated nationally.
