Did you know that over 2 million children in Florida could benefit from the Summer Electronic Benefits Transfer (Summer EBT) program? This federal initiative ensures that children who rely on school lunches continue to receive nutritious meals throughout the summer.

During the recent legislative session, Florida Impact and dedicated advocates like you urged lawmakers to authorize and fund the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF) to apply for the 2025 Summer EBT. The clock is ticking, and Florida has until August 15, 2024, to submit its intent to administer this vital program.

We need your help to ensure that the Florida DCF seizes this crucial opportunity. Please take a moment to send an email to DCF Secretary Shevaun Harris, urging her to take the necessary steps to provide meals for hungry Florida children next summer. To support us in our efforts, follow this link to send your letter to the DCF: https://action.splcenter.org/a/feed-fl.
Together, we can make a difference. Thank you for your support.
