The Libraries and Summer Food guide is a one-stop resource from the Collaborative Summer Library Program for libraries looking to learn more and get involved in the Summer Food Service Program or other ways to connect youth with healthy food. It has been updated for 2021 and covers all the basics:

Read Up! is a mini-manual for summer feeding sites featuring easy-to-implement enrichment activities that support reading, creativity, and fun.
This is a 26-page resource for SFSP and other feeding sites outside of libraries. Public libraries are encouraged to share this resource with summer food sites to give them tools and ideas for integrating enrichment programming that supports reading and literacy. The activities are based on programs developed for the CSLP manual, and are adapted for non-library settings.

The Ohio Department of Education, in partnership with the Ohio Department of Medicaid, has released the second annual Ohio Healthy Students Profiles. The profiles include measures on health care interactions, health conditions and education indicators for Medicaid-eligible students in kindergarten-grade 12 in Ohio’s public schools for the 2019-2020 school year. All districts and schools with sufficient Medicaid-eligible enrollment (minimum of 30 students) receive profiles.
 
Find your district’s Healthy Students Profile on the Healthy Students Profile webpage:

There is also an FAQ: http://education.ohio.gov/getattachment/Topics/Student-Supports/Healthy-Students-Profiles/HealthyStudents_FAQ.pdf.aspx
