for sponsors who operate the SFSP, sites who provide healthy meals to children, and site activity options for Summer 2020. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Thursday, May 28, 1:00 ET</b> / Noon CT / 11:00 MT / 10:00 PT<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Many libraries around the USA participate in the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP), a USDA-funded program that provides free meals and snacks to children ages 0-18 in communities with high levels of need. Libraries and SFSP are a great
fit! Libraries are free and open to all. Libraries are accessible. Children and teens are always welcome. The library is a stigma-free community center where community members traditionally get things for free. Libraries also gain a lot from participating
as SFSP sites. They directly support vulnerable community members and directly address food insecurity. They attract new user groups and increase their visibility and importance as a stakeholder in community well-being.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Summer meals will look quite different this year as USDA has made temporary changes so that meals may be taken home, and parents or guardians may pick up meals for their children if the state allows.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Join Penny Weaver and Maged Hanafi from the USDA’s Food and Nutrition Service to learn the basics of SFSP, what will be different in 2020, and how your library can support child and community well-being by being a new or returning SFSP
site, or by supporting other SFSP sites in your community.<o:p></o:p></p>
