Children in the Genesee Intermediate School District will have access to well-balanced meals throughout the summer.

Those meals will be provided by the 2018 Summer EBT for Children (SEBTC) program, which is funded through a grant from the U.S Department of Agriculture. The program helps WIC-eligible families feed their children nutritious meals during the summer months when school meals are not readily available.

The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program, in collaboration with the Michigan Department of Education are participating in the program to ensure children have access to well-balanced meals.

Eligible students will receive $30 of nutritious food per month for the three months of summer. The program began June 1 and benefits expire Sept. 3.

SEBTC Bridge Cards and program materials have been mailed directly to families selected to participate. The card comes pre-loaded with a food package that families can redeem in any WIC-authorized store. The food package contains nutritious items such as milk, eggs and fresh fruits and vegetables.
