Friend,
Will you help Hunger Free America connect hungry families with vital food benefits this summer?
14 million U.S. children -- one in five -- live in households that struggle against hunger. Child hunger soars during the summer when traditional school meals are unavailable.
For the first time ever, many states throughout the country will participate in the brand new Summer EBT program, which will provide eligible families with $40 per month per child – a total of $120 per child for the summer – on an EBT food benefit card. These benefits, combined with other federal nutrition programs, will help ensure children’s access to healthy food while school is out.
