Texas not participating in new federal program to combat food insecurity among kids

Texas won't be among the 33 states participating in a federal program that aims to help address food insecurity faced by kids when school lets out for the summer, Austin public radio station KUT reports. Starting this summer, states, territories and certain tribal nations participating in U.S. Department of Agriculture's Summer EBT program will be able to give low-income families $40 monthly per school-aged child to help buy groceries, KUT reports. Many such families face food insecurity when schools are no longer in session and providing free or reduced-cost lunches.
