Iowa provides grocery vouchers to students who lost reduced lunch benefits due to pandemic

© (Bet Noire/iStock) Iowa s Department of Human Services this week began issuing grocery vouchers to families of students who missed out on receiving reduced-cost school meals due to the coronavirus pandemic. On Wednesday, the agency announced that families with children in prekindergarten through grade 12 who did not attend school in person during the 2020-21 school year because of pandemic-related closures would be given  P-EBT cards to help with groceries. Cards will be distributed through the mail to nearly 150,000 eligible children, according to the Des Moines Register. ADVERTISEMENT We want to make Iowa families aware of the arrival of the P-EBT cards to prevent families from throwing the envelopes away, not realizing what they contain,” said Janee Harvey, who is overseeing the effort.
