Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) was established to ensure that children continue to receive nutritious meals when school is not in session. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) administers the SFSP at the national level; and the State of Maine Department of Education at the State level. This program reimburses a potion of the expense related to providing a healthy breakfast and lunch to all children age 18 and under. The Boys & Girls Clubs of Kennebec Valley is an open site. We offer breakfast and lunch to anyone under the age of 18 during summer months starting June 25th until August 17th. Breakfast is served from 7:00am to 8:00am and Lunch is served from 11:30am to 12:30pm. You do not need to attend any Club programming or be a Club member to received a meal. All meals need to be consumed at the Club.  All children should be accompanied by an adult. 

During the Summer program a snack is provided by the Club and is not reimbursable by SFSP.
