<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt">(Salem, Ore.)</span></i><span style="font-size:12.0pt"> – In Oregon, only 38,908 of the 307,182 children who are eligible for free or reduced-priced meals in the National School
Lunch Program participate in the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP). The Oregon Department of Education (ODE) is seeking more schools, community organizations and tribes to participate in SFSP this summer to help ensure that children and teens receive the
nutritious meals they need during the summer months. Last summer, Oregon’s 135 summer food sponsors served almost 1.6 million meals and snacks at 818 locations.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">“Supporting the Summer Food Service Program converts the summer gap into a summer boost,” ODE Summer Meals Outreach Coordinator Jessica Visinsky said. “Access to healthy meals and
enrichment programs in the summer supports a child’s educational and physical growth. When children miss out on chances for meals and enrichment during the summer, it causes a gap that they must try to make up when school reconvenes.”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">It is important to expand the program and close the hunger gap in all areas of the state, and ODE’s Child Nutrition Program is particularly interested in serving more summer meals
in the following 15 counties:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Organizations enter into agreements with the Oregon Department of Education to run the programs. Schools, non-profit community organizations, local government agencies, camps and
faith-based organizations that have the ability to manage a food service program may be SFSP sponsors. Sponsors are reimbursed for serving healthy meals and snacks to children and may manage multiple sites.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Sites are places in the community where children receive meals in a safe and supervised environment. Sites may be located in a variety of settings, including schools, parks, community
centers, health clinics, hospitals, libraries, migrant centers, apartment complexes and faith-based locations. Sites work directly with local sponsors.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
