Summer Food Service Program
The Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) module has been designed with all the capabilities necessary to simplify the administration of the program with online entry of applications and claims through an intranet or the Internet.
It tracks information required by the USDA and provides each sponsor’s base information required for submission of reimbursement claims. The SFSP can also track migrant sites, open sites, enrolled sites, National Youth Sports Program (NYSP) sites, summer camps, as well as residential and day camps.
