This grant is offered by the USDA’s Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) to demonstrate and evaluate methods for reducing summer food insecurity and hunger among children. Authorized by the 2010 Agriculture Appropriations Act, FNS will conduct projects enhancing the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) and, crucially, testing household food benefits. These benefits aim to reach low-income, food-insecure school children during summer. The Summer Electronic Benefits Transfer for Children (SEBTC) demonstration specifically tests this household-based nutrition assistance delivery. This solicitation is a key component of FNS’s multi-part effort to prevent childhood hunger in summer.
