2010 Oregon Summer Food Participation Report

Data Sources and Methodology

2010 Summer Meals Served:

Explanation: The number of breakfasts, snacks, lunches, and suppers served to children through the SummerFood Service Program (SFSP) and the Seamless Summer Option (SSO).Source: Oregon Department of Education, Child Nutrition ProgramsDate: Summer 2010

Percent Change from 2009-2010:

Explanation: Represents the relative change in total meals served through SFSP and SSO in 2009 compared tototal meals served in 2010.Source: Oregon Department of Education, Child Nutrition ServicesAnalysis: Partners for a Hunger-Free OregonDate: Summer 2009 and Summer 2010Notes/Assumptions: Summer 2009 data has been updated from the original 2009 Oregon Summer Food

Participation Report (original report published in March 2010). Several meal sites had been assigned to anincorrect county in the Oregon Department of Education data fields, therefore previously misrepresenting where inthe state some meals were served. Some changes in meals served by county can be explained by this update. Additionally, some sponsors made late adjustments to their meal claims, further affecting the total number of mealsserved in Oregon.

Average Daily Participation:

Explanation: The estimated average number of children receiving a meal each day through SFSP or SSOthroughout each county.Source: Oregon Department of Education, Child Nutrition ServicesDate: Summer 2010

Notes/Assumptions: Average Daily Participation (ADP) is calculated for each site based on the meal serviceduring which the most meals are served (only one meal service, usually lunch, is included in calculation so thatchildren who eat a snack and lunch are not duplicated). Since ADP is based on meal counts, it is only an estimate of number of children served.Site ADP Calculation = Meals Served/Total Serving DaysCounty ADP Calculation = Sum of Site ADP within County State ADP Calculation = Sum of County ADP*Previous reports included duplicated figures by including all meals served at a site (breakfast, snack, lunch, andsuppers). Additionally, the county calculation previously relied on the average number of operating days for thecounty, instead of site level calculations (previous County ADP Calculation = Sum of All Meals Served ThroughoutCounty/County’s Average Number of Serving Days).

% Eligible that Participate:

Explanation: This figure compares the average number of children who eat a meal through the Summer FoodProgram on a given day to the average number of children who eat a free or reduced priced lunch on a given day during the school year through the National School Lunch Program (NSLP).Source: Oregon Department of Education, Child Nutrition ServicesDate: 2009 -2010 Academic Year and Summer 2010Notes/Assumptions: This figure is based on average number of free and reduced priced meals actually eatendaily during the school year. It does not include all children who are eligible for free and reduced price meals.Percent participating in the Summer Food Program is calculated by comparing the county Summer Food Program ADP to NSLP free and reduced price ADP. This provides an approximate indicator of how many children were beingserved during the summer compared with how many low-income children who ate during the school year. This



does not account for children younger than school age who are eligible to participate in the Summer Food Program.The percent eligible to participate is pulled from a targeted pool of eligible children. % Eligible that Participate = (SFSP and SSO County ADP)/ NSLP free and reduced price lunch County ADP

Rank:

Explanation: Rank is a county to county comparison based on percent eligible that participate in the SummerFood Program.

Average Number of Serving Days:

Explanation: The sum of serving days for each site throughout the county divided by the total number of sitesSource: Oregon Department of Education, Child Nutrition ProgramsDate: Summer 2010Notes/Assumptions: The average number of serving days for the state only includes counties that operate theprogram. Average number of serving days for the state = Sum of County Average Number of Serving Days/32

Number of Meal Sites:

Explanation: Total number of SFSP and SSO meal sites located in the county.Source: Oregon Department of Education, Child Nutrition ProgramsDate: Summer 2010Notes/Assumptions: Some meal sites may be located in one county but sponsored by an organization located ina different county.*Some changes in the number of meal sites by county from the 2009 report are attributed to past coding errors thatare now corrected.

Number of Program Sponsors:

Explanation: The total number of SFSP and SSO sponsors recognized by the Department of Education in each

county.Source: Oregon Department of Education, Child Nutrition ProgramsDate: Summer 2010Notes/Assumptions: Sponsors may operate sites in multiple counties.

Federal Funds Brought to County:

Explanation: This figure represents the total reimbursements for all meals served through SFSP and SSOsponsors whose main office is within that county.Source: Oregon Department of Education, Child Nutrition ProgramsDate: Summer 2010Notes/Assumptions: Sponsors may operate sites in multiple counties, however the reimbursements for all

meals that sponsor serves will be applied to the county where the sponsor office is actually located. For instance, allsites in Wallowa County are operated by a sponsor that is located in Union County, therefore all mealreimbursements for the Wallowa County sites will be applied to Union County.
