About the Summer Food Program
Each summer across Alabama, millions of meals are served to children and teens at risk of hunger at more than a thousand sponsor sites. The ASLDE’s Child Nutrition Program aims for even more participants this year at sites in Huntsville, Alabama, including both the number of children and teens receiving meals as well as the number of sponsors providing those meals.
Break for a Plate Summer, Alabama’s summer food service program, provides two nutritious meals every day to all children and teens up to 18 years of age during the summer months, regardless of household income. A joint effort of the Alabama State Department of Education and the USDA, Break for a Plate Summer served a record 3 million meals to children in 2018.
While Alabama’s Break for a Plate Summer has outpaced the growth of similar programs in other states, there remains a critical need for sponsors, particularly in rural areas where children and teens often live further from school.
