Overview
Summer EBT for Children is a program that offers a food benefit package to school-age children who qualify for free or reduced meals. The purpose of this program is to combat child hunger by providing meals for children during the summer months when school meals are not available. Our goal is to offer food assistance to low-income children during these summer months by supplying their families with more resources.
