Harford County Public Schools to Participate in the Summer Food Service Program

Harford County Public Schools Food and Nutrition Services are participating in the Summer Food Service Pro­gram (SFSP). The SFSP is a U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) program that helps children receive the nutri­tion they need to thrive throughout the summer months.

During the school year, many children receive free and reduced-price breakfast and lunch through the School Breakfast and National School Lunch Programs.
