FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
CHILDREN AND PARENTS MAY HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE
SUMMER MEALS PROGRAMYOU NEED TO HAVE THE ANSWERS

• Q Why does my child have to take milk?
• A The meals we satellite require children to
  receive all 5 components of the meal. Meals
  served at open sites allow the children to
  choose a minimum of 3 components of the 5
  offered.

Q Why does my child receive cold meals?
A All summer satellite sites receive cold
meals. Open Summer feeding locations serve a
varied menu which includes hot and cold menu
items.
28
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q My child did not finish the meal. Why cant I
eat it?
A The focus of the Summer Meals Program is on
the nutritional needs of the children of the
City of New York. It is the site supervisors
responsibility to ensure that only children
under 19 receive a meal at no charge.
Q Why does SchoolFood recommend that CBO groups
walk in for meals?
A Open sites serve a more varied menu that
includes hot items. Production and service
(including maintaining safe food temperatures)
are less problematic at walk in sites. Groups
can make arrangements to walk in to any open site.
29
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q One of my children is in a Summer Math
program at our neighborhood school. My other
child goes to a local summer camp during the
day. Why dont they receive the same lunch?
A Children who walk in to an Open Site are
served a hot food menu and have the option of
choosing a minimum of 3 components from the 5
offered. Children whose programs receive
satellite meals are served a cold lunch and must
receive all 5 components.
30
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q Why cant my child remove food from the
cafeteria?
A SchoolFood cannot guarantee the safety of
food once it leaves the premises. There is a
potential danger, for example, if a child
carries a tuna salad sandwich without
refrigeration for even two hours.
