The ratio of 15.8 to 100 in July 2015 was a slight decline compared to the ratio of 16.2 to 100 in 2014.
This decline occurred because the slight increase
in Summer Nutrition participation was more than
offset by an additional 460,000 low-income students
participating in NSLP during the 20142015 regular
school year compared to 20132014.

Missed Opportunities
Childrens Well-Being; and Federal Dollars
Summer Nutrition Programs provide federal funding
to states so that they can serve healthy meals to lowincome children, improving health and well-being at
a time when youth are at increased risk for food
insecurity and weight gain. With many families
continuing to feel the effects of the slow recovery
from the recession the child poverty rate is still higher
than prior to the recession it remains urgent that
states continue to build on 2013 and 2014s progress
in feeding children during the summer.

With gains being made over the past three years, now is the time to
maintain those efforts and identify additional strategies to expand
and continue to improve the Summer Nutrition Programs.

The Pennsylvania Department of Education developed best practices for improving nutrition quality
that were shared in a webinar for new and returning
sponsors and that were incorporated into all trainings.

Summer Meal Programs over the past three summers by supporting their city agencies, schools,
and other community organizations to operate
and expand their Summer Meal Programs and by
speaking out in support of the programs at kick-off
events, conferences, and meetings. In the summer
of 2015 alone, the CHAMPS cities served 36,779
children, reaching an additional 9,479 children and
serving 2,836,312 more meals.
In 2016, the two organizations embarked on the
fourth round of the project to engage and provide
grants to cities in three target states: Alabama,
California, and Kansas. The project will work in
partnership with the Alabama Association of Food
Banks, the California Summer Meals Coalition,
and Kansas Appleseed. Additionally, the Alabama
League of Municipalities, the League of California
Cities, and the League of Kansas Municipalities
will also lend support to the project.
Conclusion
In 2015, the Summer Nutrition Programs experienced
a very modest increase in participation, maintaining a
trajectory of growth from the previous three summers.
A steady and strong focus on program expansion
including aggressive outreach and promotion of the
programs; policy solutions to the administrative barriers
that limit participation; and improvements to the nutrition
quality and appeal of the meals served is necessary
to continue expanding access to the Summer Nutrition
Programs. The programs need to reach more of the
low-income children who rely on school lunch during
the school year. Serving just one hungry child in six is
not enough.

Technical Notes
The data in this report are collected from the U.S.
Department of Agriculture (USDA) and from an annual
survey of state child nutrition officials conducted by the
Food Research & Action Center (FRAC). This report does
not include the Summer Nutrition Programs in Puerto
Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands, or Department of
Defense schools.
Due to rounding, totals in the tables may not add up
to 100 percent.
Hawaii began its regular 20152016 school year earlier than in past years, serving NSLP meals during the last three days of July. This caused
a large spike in July NSLP participation in Hawaii that did not reflect summer meal program participation. The state provided FRAC with data on
the number of lunches served in July 2014 and July 2015 through the Seamless Summer Option. We divided these numbers by the number of
days that Seamless Summer lunches were served (9 days in July 2014 and 8 days in July 2015) to calculate the July NSLP average daily participation for each year, and added the results to the July 2014 and July 2015 SFSP lunch participation, respectively, to estimate Summer Nutrition
participation in Hawaii.

Summer Nutrition includes the Summer Food Service Program and free and reduced-price National School Lunch Program, including the Seamless Summer Option.
School Year NSLP numbers reflect free and reduced-price lunch participation during the regular school year.
Ratio of Summer Nutrition to NSLP is the number of children in Summer Nutrition per 100 in NSLP.
