This federal Formula Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service under the Summer Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) Program for Children (CFDA 10.646) provides $8,720,354.00 to the California Department of Social Services to address food insecurity among low-income families by delivering EBT benefits to children who lose access to free and reduced-price meals through the National School Lunch Program during the summer months. The grant period runs from Oct 1, 2024 to Sep 30, 2025. As the primary social services agency for California, the Department of Social Services will likely utilize this funding to administer and distribute the EBT benefits statewide, potentially through sub-awards to county agencies, non-profits, and other community organizations to facilitate direct service delivery across the state.
