Summer Food Service Program

BY Second Harvest Food Bank

Summer is a difficult time for families struggling with food insecurity due to the absence of meals provided for children while they are in school. Second Harvest Food Bank of Northeast Tennessee meets the needs of families through the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP). All SFSP sites will provide adults with a meal option so they can eat lunch with their children if they bring them to a Lunch Express. Food boxes along with produce and perishable food will be given out to families with children through the Mobile Food Pantry and at all SFSP sites of Second Harvest Food Bank of Northeast Tennessee. See the link below for a list of sites.

Food is distributed to children in our SFSP program using two models 1) a traditional Summer Food Service program model at stationary sites and 2) a mobile distribution model, our Lunch Express buses.
