Summer EBT / SUN Bucks Coverage Atlas: Summer Without School Meals
When school is out, 30 million children lose access to free and reduced-price meals. Summer EBT delivers $120 per child in opt-in states — but eleven states opted out of the 2025 plan year. Our atlas maps eligible children and forfeited benefit dollars by state and county.

WIC Coverage Gap Atlas: Who's Enrolled vs. Who's Eligible
Nationally, about 4 in 10 people eligible for WIC are not enrolled — nearly 4 million pregnant women, infants, and young children missing out on free nutrition support. Our atlas maps coverage rate, unserved population, and low-income children under 6 for all 50 states and DC.
