"
The 2026 Summer Rural Non-Congregate FAQs have been updated to include a Reporting section that contains information on reporting requirements for sponsors of non-congregate and hybrid sites.
This summer, every rural non-congregate and hybrid sponsor must submit monthly meal service reporting in addition to its TX-UNPS claims. An email request is generated for each site and claim month and sent to the program contact listed in TX-UNPS once the corresponding TX-UNPS claim has been submitted. Sponsors are advised to carefully review all data submitted to the Smartsheet form to ensure accurate and complete reporting.
Visit the Summer Non-Congregate Feeding Program page on SquareMeals.org for the FAQs and additional resources on completing this reporting requirement. For a recorded explanation of completing this requirement, sponsors can visit the NSLP Resources page to access the July 29, 2026, TDA School Call webinar.
