Get Food. Get Benefits.
- For the most recent round of Summer and Child Care P-EBT, FeedingKY and KyPolicy have put together an updated Outreach Toolkit including new social media graphics, a printable Back to School Food Resources handout and CHFS materials. The individual graphics and handouts are meant for anyone, while the link to the toolkit itself is geared toward advocates and partner organizations. The document in this folder labeled 1. Toolkit Instructions provides an overview of this toolkit and a list of the resources included. Please share these resources with other partners, schools, child care centers or stakeholders who may want these additional tools to promote the program and inform parents of this help with grocery money.
