Congress recently established an opportunity to create a nationwide, permanent Summer EBT program. This program holds great promise to reduce hunger and poverty across the country over the summer period, which has been a historically challenging time for families. APHSA is pleased to share our recommendations on the Summer EBT portion of the recent Interim Final Rule: Establishing the Summer EBT Program and Rural Non-Congregate Option in the Summer Meal Programs. Read our response: https://lnkd.in/eYivM7xx We will be addressing our #SEBT response and future plans at our convening this Sunday as well as a conference breakout session on Tuesday as part of #EMWB24. Stay tuned for updates! No Kid Hungry (a program of Share Our Strength)
