In an effort to address childhood hunger and its impact on child development, health and learning, HHS has notified states that TANF funds available through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act can be used to assist families through the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP). SFSP was created to ensure that children in lower-income areas can continue to receive nutritious meals during long school vacations when they do not have access to school lunch or breakfast. Contact your state’s TANF director for more information on how refugee children can access this program.
