VERONA, VA (Rocktown Now) — The Blue Ridge Area Food Bank is participating in the USDA’s Summer Food Service Program (SFSP), sponsoring 23 locations starting in late May, helping ensure that children across the region have access to nutritious food to fuel their learning, play, and growth.
One in seven children in Virginia is food insecure. The Summer Food Service Program is designed to reach children who may not have access to nutritious meals at home over the summer break. Students receiving free or reduced-price meals when school is in session are at particular risk.
The Food Bank provides wholesome breakfast items, vegetables, fruit, protein-rich dishes, and snacks to organizations such as the Boys and Girls Clubs, summer school programs, churches, and recreation programs. This nutritious food is provided to all eligible children without charge, helping children thrive and stay on track for healthy development.
During this summer program, the Food Bank will serve approximately 550 children through SFSP, across its 25-county service area.
