Overview
ERS developed the Summer Food Service Program Map Machine to target potential expansion of USDA’s Summer Food Service Program (SFSP). This interactive web machine combined data on 2001 SFSP sponsors and sites, Census 2000 data on small geographic areas, and school census data. Users could create maps that showed at a glance whether SFSP sites were located in areas of the highest need and whether some qualified areas had been overlooked. The Map Machine also allowed users to analyze program coverage using the underlying data from the three databases.
