Additional Resources for New and Existing Partners

Site Supervisor's Guide

A successful children’s Summer Food Service Program must be well supervised, organized and offered in a safe environment to serve children fresh, appetizing and well-balanced meals. To function effectively, site staff should be dedicated, knowledgeable and compassionate. As a site supervisor, you set the standard for workers around you and ultimately determine your community partner’s success or failure in the program. It is important to keep reliable records, report food and safety concerns to your partner and maintain inventory to ensure the success of your partner’s program. By following program guidelines and working as a team with your partner during school vacation periods, you can ensure that your site will provide essential nutritious meals and snacks to neighborhood children in need.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) resources on this page offer additional information. Note that the USDA refers to “community partners” as “sponsors.”
