No Kid Hungry Michigan has created an English and Spanish School Education and Nutrition Benefits Applications Toolkit to support school districts in communicating with families about the importance of completing Education and Nutrition Benefits Applications or Education Benefits Forms (for CEP Schools) for the 2024-2025 school year. This customizable toolkit includes:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • A \u201cStart Here!\u201d question guide to help districts determine which toolkit will benefit their school district, i.e. Education and Nutrition Benefits Application, Education Benefits Form, or both.<\/li>\n
  • A checklist of strategies for maximizing return rates of both forms.<\/li>\n
  • Customizable English and Spanish language postcards, Facebook and Twitter graphics, and template FAQ flyers for outreach to families.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
