Are you a restaurant, catering company or food service operation interested in helping feed kids in need during COVID-19 school closures?
Nearly 900,000 children in North Carolina rely on receiving breakfast, lunch and snacks from school five days a week. During this emergency closure, approved schools and community partners are serving needy kids and teens across the state and receiving reimbursement through the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP).
Some schools and community partners operating through SFSP may experience difficulties with food supply and meal transportation. SFSP operators are allowed to contract with restaurants, caterers and food service operations to supply food for the kids in their community.
The NC Department of Public Instruction is leading the NC Restaurants Feeding Kids Initiative to connect restaurants and food service operations with schools and community organizations to ensure no child goes hungry while school is out of session.
