Workshops-SFSPLearning Support :

The Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) offers Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) Basics Workshops, Refresher Workshops, and an Upward Bound Workshop for program sponsors at selected locations across Minnesota in March, April and May to prepare sponsors for the upcoming summer.  The State of Minnesota participates in the Simplified Summer Food Program (SSFP) that benefits program sponsors with less paperwork and maximum program reimbursement.

The workshop information with locations and dates for upcoming workshops are provided in a document below. Confirmation notices and maps will be sent by email about two weeks prior to the workshop.
