That\u2019s why sharing these messages at CEP schools is especially important.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Based on findings from our 2024 Summer EBT campaign focus groups with stakeholders across the country, and the 2024 KY Parent and Caregiver Survey conducted by Feeding Kentucky, we found the most trusted voice for eligible families is schools.
