Maricopa County Highlight: SFSP Partnerships

The City of Tempe Kid Zone Program (TKZ), an LIA subcontractor to the Maricopa County Department of Public Health providing afterschool and summer programs, collaborated with Tempe Elementary School District's Nutrition Services Department to promote the SFSP through the distribution of promotional materials and communications. Posters, handouts, and e-mail blasts were distributed to families in the district, as well as to eligible community centers in Tempe, reaching over 2,000 families in the Tempe and Kyrene School Districts. The Summer Lunch Buddies campaign materials were also used.  TKZ also supported a new SFSP site in the Kyrene School District, with the hope that success at that site will encourage district sponsorship of additional SFSP sites in the future.
