Public Notice: DOE seeks summer food service waiver

Concord – The New Hampshire Department of Education is seeking a waiver from the United States Department of Agriculture, Food and Nutrition Services. The purpose of this waiver is to support summer food service programs (Seamless Summer Option, Summer Food Service Program, Extended School Year) in providing meals to children in areas experiencing congregate feeding challenges in response to COVID-19. The waiver would allow for an alternative or grab and go meals service that would limit participants’ interaction and proximity to other participants and therefore decrease the risk of COVID-19 exposure.
