Rural Kids Have Limited Access to USDA Food Programs in Summer
June 2, 2010
As the school year draws to a close, many low-income children will rely on the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) to supplement their diet. But less than one-third of SFSP sites are located in rural communities and rural children participate at a lower rate than those in more urban areas, according to a new brief from researchers Barbara Wauchope and Nena Stracuzzi.
