Lubbock Region 17 Education Service Center provides technical assistance for TDA’s Summer Food Service Program. This program is designed to provide free, healthy, nutritious meals to children in lower-income areas during the summer when school is not in session. School districts and eligible sponsors may serve as summer feeding sites.

Contracting Entities (CEs) must complete the required SFSP Training in order to maintain an approved status to participate in the SFSP. At a minimum, the sponsor’s supervisory personnel responsible for the food service must attend SFSP program administration and operations training.

According to TDA, any CE who has not completed the required training will not be approved for participation in the SFSP for PY 2016, and/or the application approval will be revoked.
