Sullivan BOCES Launches Free Summer Meal Program for Local Youth

Liberty, NY — June 9, 2025 — The Sullivan County Board of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES) has announced its participation in the federally funded Summer Food Service Program (SFSP), providing free meals to all children aged 18 and under throughout the summer months.

The program is designed to ensure that children in the community continue to receive nutritious meals when school is not in session. No registration or proof of income is required—any child 18 or younger is eligible to receive meals at no cost.

The SFSP is funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and administered locally by Sullivan BOCES. Meals will be distributed at designated sites across Sullivan County, with specific locations and serving times to be announced in the coming days.

In accordance with federal civil rights law and USDA policy, the Summer Food Service Program prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, disability, age, or retaliation for prior civil rights activity. Information is also available in alternative formats and languages upon request.

Those requiring accommodations or more details can contact Sullivan BOCES directly at 52 Ferndale Loomis Rd, Liberty, NY 12754.
