LANSING,
MICH.
The
Michigan
Department
of
Education
(MDE) is
pleased
to
announce
that an
online
map has
been
developed
for
families
to find
locations
where
meals
are
being
provided
during
this
period
of
school
closure.
The map
can be
found
at:
https://www.mcgi.state.mi.us/schoolnutrition/,
and will
be
updated
twice
each day
during
the
closure
period.
These
meals,
served
under
the
program
called
Unanticipated
School
Closure
Summer
Food
Service
Program
(SFSP),
are
available
to all
children
at no
cost.
Up to
two
meals
per day
may be
served
to all
children
ages
0-18.
This
includes
students
with
disabilities
ages
18-26
with an
active
individual
education
program
(IEP).
This
program
assists
Michigan’s
school
districts
and
community
partners
to
ensure
that
kids
receive
nutritious
meals
during
the
school
closure
announced
by
Governor
Gretchen
Whitmer
on March
12,
2020.
Schools
and
sponsors
that
participate
in
Unanticipated
School
Closure
SFSP
help
ensure
children
do not
experience
a lapse
in food
security
now that
schools
are
closed
starting
March
16,
2020,
through
April 5,
2020.
