What will my organization do as a supporter?
As a sponsored site, you will have an arrangement with another organization that is approved to administer the program.
Your sponsor will determine if your site is eligible, recruit and train the staff and volunteers, arrange for meals to be prepared and/or delivered, and monitor your site. Your sponsor will provide staff and management, recruit volunteers to facilitate meal services and activities in accordance with USDA/SFSP guidelines, keep your site clean and sanitary, and store food appropriately.
