There is a new push coming this summer to make sure students from low-income families get the nutrition they need.

It includes additional funding from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).

Under the new program, eligible parents will have extra money added to their EBT cards during summer vacation.

USDA Deputy Secretary Xochitl Torres Small visited Mission Elementary in Oceanside, on Monday, to promote the plan.

“For kids who eat school meals, it’s typically the healthiest meal that they have all day. But unfortunately in the summer that’s not guaranteed," said Torres Small at a press conference with U.S. Representative Mike Levin.

I hope there’s not a way for the ones who need it most (kids in Republican states) to have this taken away by the states.
