With her support of school meals and Summer EBT, Governor Sanders is leading the way in efforts to end childhood hunger,\u201d said Kate Goodin, Senior Manager for No Kid Hungry Arkansas. \u201cRecognizing that 1 in 4 Arkansas kids face hunger, Governor Sanders has put school meals and Summer EBT at the forefront of her plans to ease the financial burden on families by ensuring that food is accessible for all kids, regardless of season.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In its first year, Summer EBT served more than a quarter of a million Arkansas kids by providing grocery benefits that enabled families to purchase nutritious foods over the summer break. No Kid Hungry acknowledges the significant impact of longtime partner, the Arkansas Hunger Relief Alliance, whose partnership with the Department of Human Services was instrumental to the success of Summer EBT.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In her State of the State address, Governor Sanders pledged to work with the Arkansas legislature to find ways to increase the impact of this summer\u2019s EBT benefits for families.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Additionally, Governor Sanders has committed to sustaining the Summer EBT program and the schools\u2019 free lunch and breakfast programs for years to come. Her goal is to make school breakfast free for all Arkansas kids. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cNo Kid Hungry applauds Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders for her commitment to kids.
