Summer Food Program
Due to a power outage, we WILL NOT be able to provide the Summer food program at William Penn for July 25th.
Open to ALL children, 18 and younger No Enrollment, No Cost
The Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) provides healthy meals and snacks to children when school is not in session. The SFSP is a federally funded program operated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and is managed locally by the Delaware Department of Education (DDOE). The goal of the SFSP is to ensure that children receive the nutrition they need to continue to grow, learn and play throughout the summer months!
