Summer
Food for Children Demonstrations
In the 2010 Agriculture
Appropriations Act (P.L. 111-80),
Congress authorized demonstration
projects to develop and test methods of
providing access to food for low-income
children in urban and rural areas during
the summer months when schools are not
in regular session, as well as rigorous
independent evaluations of each
projects’ effectiveness.
The Food and Nutrition Service (FNS)
launched the first of these projects,
collectively known as the Summer Food
for Children Demonstrations (SFC), in
the summer of 2010. Additional projects
have since been initiated and will
continue through at least the summer of
2012. The SFC projects are of two types:
the Enhanced Summer Food Service Program
(eSFSP) demonstrations, and the Summer
Electronic Benefit Transfer for Children
(SEBTC) projects. The eSFSP
demonstrations modify the existing
structure and delivery mechanism of the
Summer Food Service Program (SFSP),
while the SEBTC projects test
household-based methods of benefit
delivery.
