This grant, offered by USDA’s Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), is for demonstrating and evaluating strategies to reduce or prevent food insecurity and hunger among children during summer months. Funded by the 2010 Agriculture Appropriations Act, FNS will conduct demonstration projects, including enhancing the existing Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) and testing household food benefits. A key component is the Summer Electronic Benefits Transfer for Children (SEBTC) demonstration, which aims to test a household-based method of delivering vital nutrition assistance to low-income children throughout the summer. This initiative seeks to understand and implement effective solutions to combat summer hunger among vulnerable children, with this specific solicitation focusing on the SEBTC model to ensure comprehensive evaluation of its impact.
