🚨 IMPORTANT
Tennessee leaders are raising serious concerns after Gov. Bill Lee rejected the Summer EBT program for the second year in a row, cutting off critical food assistance for nearly 700,000 food-insecure children across our state.
This is an $80 million federally funded program — at no cost to Tennessee taxpayers.
Nearly 1 in 5 Tennessee children face food insecurity.
Last year’s state replacement program reached only 2% of eligible children.
The deadline to act is February 15.
📞 Please call Gov. Lee’s office today at (615) 741-2001 and urge him to restore the Summer EBT program for Tennessee families.
Our children cannot afford delays.
There is a fierce urgency of now.
