Press Release: NV Families Set to Receive Summer EBT Food Benefits
Beginning this month, families in Nevada will start receiving Summer Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) food assistance. The program aims to provide essential food support for children who rely on free or reduced-price meals during the school year, addressing food insecurity during the summer months.
Eligible families can expect to receive funds directly on their EBT cards, allowing for the purchase of nutritious groceries. The initiative is part of the state’s ongoing efforts to alleviate hunger and ensure that children have access to healthy food options throughout the summer break.
The Summer EBT program is designed for households with children eligible for the National School Lunch Program. This year, the initiative is particularly significant as it responds to increased need due to economic challenges faced by many families.
State officials encourage eligible families to check their EBT accounts and make use of these vital resources. By providing support during the summer, Nevada aims to positively impact the health and well-being of its youth, ensuring they receive necessary nourishment while away from school. Further details can be obtained from local agencies and the state’s website.
