Sign the Summer EBT Coalition Letter Today!
Now is the time to show your organization's support for the Stop Child Summer Hunger Act of 2015 (H.R. 2715 / S. 5242), legislation that would expand access to Summer Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) for Children. Summer EBT is a federal demonstration project that has been shown to decrease food insecurity and support healthy eating during the summer months when children lose access to nutritious, affordable school meals. Summer EBT provides families with nutrition assistance benefits to purchase groceries from supermarkets and other food stores. Summer EBT works, but it's not at work in California. Join us in encouraging our California Representatives and Senators to become co-sponsors of the Stop Child Summer Hunger Act of 2015. If you would like to add your organization to the coalition letter, please send an email to Elyse Homel Vitale at elyse@cfpa.net by Wednesday, July 15th. Read the coalition letter.
