Schools serve as trusted messengers within a community. They work year-round to connect children and their families to vital resources that support student health and learning.

Across the country, anti-hunger advocates are partnering with school districts to strengthen households' food security through SNAP outreach. By linking eligible families to SNAP benefits, schools combat food insecurity, while increasing students’ access to school breakfast, lunch, and Summer EBT. Connecting eligible students to SNAP streamlines meal application processes, reduces the administrative burdens of processing applications, and increases schools’ ability to implement the Community Eligibility Provision.
