The North Dakota Department of Public Instruction (NDDPI) Child Nutrition and Food Distribution (CNFD) is partnering with the North Dakota Department of Health and Human Services (NDHHS) to implement the 2026 Summer Electronic Benefit Transfer (Summer EBT) program. This program provides food assistance benefits to households with school-age children eligible for free or reduced-priced school meals during the summer when they don’t have access to meals at school.
