Even as Gov. Bill Lee continues to resist feeding hungry kids over the summer, there are resources available to help.
NewsChannel5 in Nashville reports:
A lot of times, your school will do a summer meal program and provide meals. Sometimes it’s the YMCA. Sometimes it’s the Boys and Girls Club. Sometimes food banks will have programs in addition to just providing food. So there are spots available. It’s just not as widespread as Summer EBT.
The report notes that lawmakers did set the stage for Tennessee returning to the Summer EBT program in 2027. Of course, the state will have a new Governor then, and that could throw a wrench – but, as it stands, the funding is available for Summer 2027.
