Summer food stamps, also known as the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP), is a federally funded program that provides free meals to children and teenagers during the summer months when school is not in session. The SFSP operates in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. In Louisiana, the SFSP is administered by the Louisiana Department of Education.
