Seamless Summer Program 2025
The Seamless Summer Option (SSO) is a federal and state funded program that encourages school food authorities (SFA) participating in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) or School Breakfast Program (SBP) to provide meals in low-income areas during the summer. The SSO combines features of the NSLP, SBP, and Summer Food Service Program. Community Roots School Food Services Agency will be hosting the Seamless Summer Program this summer at three sites in the county to all children 18 years or younger.
