The Blue Ridge Area Food Bank participates in the USDA’s Summer Food Service Program (SFSP), starting in late May, helping ensure that children across the region have access to nutritious food to fuel their learning, play, and growth all summer.
The program helps provide food to children across the region every day during the summer.
The Food Bank provides wholesome breakfast items, vegetables, fruit, dishes with protein from meat and other sources, and fun healthy snacks to organizations like the Boys and Girls Clubs, summer school programs, churches, and recreation programs that serve children at risk of being food insecure. It is provided to all children without charge, helping children thrive and stay on track for healthy development.
The Food Bank will serve approximately 550 children through SFSP, providing more than 34,000 meals to children across our 25-county service area during the summer program. By early May, we post an updated list of sites that will participate in the Summer Food Service Programs for the following summer.
One in seven children in Virginia is food insecure. The Summer Food Service Program is designed to reach children who may not get nutritious meals at home over the summer break. Students receiving free or reduced-price meals when school is in session are at particular risk.
Below is a list of sites offering Summer Food Service Programs in 2025:
