Last year the Summer Food Service Program provided an average of 50,000 meals per day to recreation centers, playgrounds, playstreets, summer camps, parks, houses of worship, community organizations, schools and day-care centers throughout the City of Philadelphia.

The City of Philadelphia has been selected by the Pennsylvania Department of Education, Division of Child Nutrition Services, as one of three sponsors for the Philadelphia Summer Food Program.
