FNS Documents & Resources

USDA’s goal across all summer nutrition programs is simple: Connect children with nutritious food during the summer months to help them grow and thrive. The interim final rule published this week is an important step forward in increasing access to these services

FNS partnered with the Michigan State agency and Code For America to provide an update on Summer EBT as part of the USDA Child Nutrition State Agency Meeting. The presentation provided an overview of available guidance and resources and facilitated a panel discussion about implementation challenges and solutions.
