Summer EBT (also known as SUN Bucks) is a new federal program that provides eligible families $120 in additional grocery benefits during the summer months, when school meals are not available. As schools prepare for summer break, now is the time to inform families about how to access this important nutrition support. Effective outreach and clear communication will be key to ensuring eligible children receive these benefits.
Join No Kid Hungry and the School Nutrition Association for an informative webinar designed to help school nutrition professionals understand and promote Summer EBT in their communities. Inspired by insights from recent SNA Summer EBT focus groups, this session will highlight what families need to know—and how schools can help connect them to benefits.
Whether you’re new to Summer EBT or looking for practical strategies to strengthen outreach, this session will provide the tools and insights you need to help more families access benefits this summer.
