SFSP is a privately and federally funded program administered by Massachusetts Department of Education that provides kids with a healthy lunch when school is not in session. Here in Attleboro, it is sponsored and run by the Attleboro Area Interfaith Collaborative, Food n??? Friends Program.
This year, the program is proud to include new local sponsorship. Willow Tree of Attleboro will be providing the chicken for sandwiches that are on the menu once a week at all the caf??s.
A returning collaborator is Attleboro YMCA. In addition to lunch, fun activities are planned for youth participating at the Attleboro and Norton Kids Summer Caf??s. Food n??? Friends will provide activities at the North Attleboro site.
With a core of volunteers and the financial support of many supporters, this program is made possible. Additional Food n??? Friends Programs are Daily Kitchens and Family Caf??s. For information, call Pam Tarallo at 508-222-2933.
