The USDA Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) was established to fill the gap when children lose access to meals when schools are closed. Most often this occurs during summer vacation. However, during school closures related to the pandemic, meals are also being made available. You have the opportunity to supplement the food you have at home with meals and snacks for your children from local schools and community organizations. In an effort to maintain social distancing, USDA has made temporary changes that allow parents or guardians to pick up meals and take them home for their children.

In our Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP), we often hear from class participants that they would like to purchase more fresh produce. If you have ever wondered where to purchase local food in Montgomery County, Ohio State University Extension has launched a website for you. This initiative was started by Ohio State University Extension in Highland County as means of connecting consumers with the local food producers in their county. Their local initiative quickly spread statewide and now, this resource is available here in our county.
