Food Services During School Closure

National Heritage Academies (NHA) is committed to providing food to our school communities over the coming weeks to ensure students maintain a healthy and nutritious diet, even when they are away from our building. Our school leaders are working in collaboration with Preferred Meals, our food service provider, to continue serving families in our school community.

Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer Program (P-EBT)

Wisconsin has gained federal approval of a program that will provide nutritious food to children who were affected by school closings due to COVID-19.

P-EBT provides temporary funding to address emergency food needs and avert financial hardship for families affected by the pandemic.

Those already receiving Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits will see benefits added to their card.
Families can use your pre-loaded EBT card at any retailer that accepts SNAP EBT benefits. Visit the SNAP Retailers website for a list of retailers.

Our school participates in the Community Eligibility Provision, thus making all students enrolled eligible for free meals. All students eligible for free meals qualify for Pandemic EBT benefits.
Families will see a combined benefit for March and April of $176.70 per eligible student. Additionally, the combined benefit for May and June will be $148.20 per eligible student. Benefits will be put on a QUEST card or P-EBT card and will expire in one year.

Please know, we have all data on file and there is no need to submit a new application at this time.

For more information on the P-EBT program, visit dhs.wisconsin.gov. If you have any questions, please call QUEST Card Customer Service at 1-877-415-5164.
