Leading Nonprofits Join Albertsons Companies Foundation in a First-of-Its-Kind Initiative to Tackle Summer Hunger Among Children in the U.S.

Join us and make your voice heard!

To help tackle the issue of childhood hunger, Albertsons Companies Foundation has convened leading national hunger nonprofits to build a campaign driving awareness of Summer Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) – a new USDA program providing $120 per child to eligible families with school-aged children during the summer months to use to purchase food. 

 

Here is our website:  https://summerebt.org/. The goal is to give families a simple, fast way to check if they may be eligible for Summer EBT benefits and subsequently connect them to their state sign-up application or info site. For families that live in states that are not participating, the site directs them to other food resources, and helps them find their elected representatives if they would like to make their voice heard and encourage their state to participate in the future.

 

For more details please review our recent Press Release.

     I volunteer for a non-profit that provides food for hispanic community members who feel uncomfortable accessing the EBT program.  These families work, but have difficulty making a living wage.  We collectively grow food together (volunteers and hispanic families) and share it twice a month.  We have all non-paid volunteers running the organization and we are often functioning on a shoestring budget.  We have received some local grants, but the grant cycles are ending.  Our families are wonderful, but have been somewhat exiled by the current state of affairs in the US.  We need support!

     Hi, I’m a single mom, I ported my housing voucher to Colorado and the housing authority after six weeks and current of being without housing, I’ve secured housing pending inspection. The issue here is I am low income but that doesn’t define the fact that I have to pay the full deposit on my own. 


    I gave every single dime I had for the month just to secure housing. Now I have no money for food. 


    We are still living in and out of our car and don’t have means to cook. 


    Could you please help us with food gift cards?
