The Summer Electronic Benefit Transfer program (Summer EBT) has the potential to provide vital federal food assistance to over 2 million hungry children in Florida, totaling roughly $259 million next summer. Despite Florida’s decision not to participate in Summer EBT for 2024, there’s still an opportunity for the state to step up and administer the program next year. However, time is of the essence.

The deadline for Florida to inform the USDA of its intention to administer the 2025 Summer EBT program is August 15, 2024. We must act swiftly to ensure that Florida doesn’t miss this critical opportunity.

Florida Impact, alongside Bread for the World, is spearheading a sign-on letter urging our state leaders to meet the federal deadline and commit to participating in the 2025 Summer EBT program. Your organization’s support is crucial in making this happen.
