ii. Contract ~ DeKalb County School District School Nutrition Services (Vendor) ~ Annual DeKalb Parks and Recreation 2025 Summer Feeding Program Agreement
Summary: Presented by: Mr. Erick Hofstetter, Chief Operating Officer, Division of Operations
Request: It requested that the DeKalb County Board of Education (“the Board”) approve the agreement between DeKalb County Government and DeKalb County School District (“DCSD”) with School Nutrition Services (SNS) to serve as the vendor for the 2025 Summer Feeding Program. SNS partners with community programs to ensure every student receives meals needed during the summer months.
Why: Approval of this agreement to partner with DeKalb County Government ensures quality meals are provided to students enrolled in the DeKalb County Government Summer Parks and Recreation program.
Approval of this agreement to serve as vendor for the DeKalb County Parks and Recreation Department 2025 Summer Feeding Program meets Strategic Goal Area 1: Student Academic Success with Equity and Access
Details: DeKalb School Nutrition Services operates two programs simultaneously during the summer. One program provides meals to the DeKalb County School sites while the other program provides meals to the DeKalb County Parks and Recreation Centers. This is critical for all children of DeKalb County and even more so as communities continue to recover from the pandemic.
In the United States, over 11 million children live in food-insecure homes, and 22 million children rely on free or reduced-price lunches at school, which is funded by the National School Lunch Program. However, these meals are often not available during the summer.
School Nutrition Services is committed to helping students improve their academic performance through good nutrition.
DeKalb County Government, Parks and Recreation Program is located at 1950 West Exchange Place, Ste 400, Tucker, GA 30084
Financial impact: By serving as the vendor for DeKalb Parks and Recreation, School Nutrition Services will generate approximately $484,783.20 in revenue minus expenditures.
