Louisiana won't participate in Summer EBT program for kids
The agency said existing feeding programs will remain, including the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
BATON ROUGE, La. (BRPROUD) -- The Louisiana Department of Children and Family Services says it will not be participating in the Summer EBT program.
"Every child deserves a safe home, first and foremost, and families deserve a pathway to self-sufficiency. That is our primary mission," said DCFS Secretary David Matlock. "Staying focused on that mission, without adding piecemeal programs that come with more strings than long-term solutions, is what will deliver the biggest impact for the children and families we serve."
The agency said existing feeding programs will remain, including the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
DCFS directs families to opt in to workforce development programs it offers. Click here for more information about programs.
