It's vital that kids have access to healthy food year-round, not just when school is in session. That's why @USDA is encouraging all states and tribes to sign up for the Summer EBT program to provide families with grocery benefits during the summer months when school is out.

.@USDA's new Summer EBT program will help millions of children access meals throughout the summer months when food insecurity for children is at its highest. We're encouraging states to sign on today. fns.usda.gov/news-item/fns-0…
