Dear Northern Lehigh Families,

Federal nutrition programs are available to help you provide healthy meals for your family. 

If your children are eligible for free or reduced meals during the school year, they are eligible for a Pandemic EBT card (P-EBT) with benefits. Children who are eligible for free or reduced meals at school will receive extra food benefits to cover the period of the summer of 2023. These food benefits are called Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer or P-EBT benefits. P-EBT benefits help families in Pennsylvania buy food during the summer. Your child may be eligible to receive the summer PEBT benefits. Please refer to the attached PEBT Family Guide and PEBT Frequently asked questions document attached to this email with more detailed information that may pertain to your childs benefits.

If you have any questions on where to find more information on PEBT benefits, please contact the PA Department of Human Services (DHS) at their new inquiry portal below:

We hope you enjoy the remainder of your summer and look forward to seeing you back to school soon!

Sincerely,
Nichole Fink
Food Service Director
