Spread the Word with Summer Nutrition Outreach Materials! |

Lack of awareness remains one of the biggest barriers to summer meal participation. Use the resources below to promote your summer meal sites and those nearby. Summer meals outreach is also a great opportunity to help families learn about Summer EBT, a program that provides food benefits to eligible children on an EBT card. Summer meals and Summer EBT decrease food insecurity during the summer when school meals aren't available. Please spread the word about these critical programs! |
