Benefits are on an EBT card (works like a debit card) that allows you to purchase healthy food for the summer.
Participation in this program will have no impact on other government assistance that you and your child receive.
Information provided by you on the consent form or any records obtained for this program will be kept confidential as required by law and will be used only for this project.
