  • Food stamp benefits available to eligible Ohio schoolchildren attending classes remotely

    Food stamp benefits available to eligible Ohio schoolchildren attending classes remotely

    By Ohio Capital Journal Staff

    Thousands of Ohio children who qualify for free or reduced-price meals at school will soon receive money to buy food through the Pandemic-Electronic Benefit Transfer (P-EBT) program, the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS) announced last week.

    This funding was made possible by the federal Families First Coronavirus Response Act, a release said, adding that ODJFS provided more than $250 million in P-EBT benefits to more than 850,000 Ohio children last spring. The agency recently received federal approval to issue a second round of benefits for children enrolled in schools operating fully remotely or with a hybrid remote/in-person model, the release said.

    “As families juggle the challenges of work, remote learning, and additional responsibilities, I hope that these additional benefits eliminate the stress of providing healthy, nutritious meals,” said Gov. Mike DeWine in the release.

    ODJFS is working with the Ohio Department of Education and local school districts to identify all eligible children, which includes children participating in remote learning for at least five consecutive days between the dates Aug. 1 and Sept. 30 who are already eligible for free or reduced-price meals.

    “Ensuring that our most vulnerable children have access to nutritious meals remains a top priority,” said ODJFS Director Kimberly Hall. “As families continue to navigate the challenges related to COVID, we are happy to have the P-EBT program as an additional resource to offer our children and their families.”

    As with the benefits issued last spring, the P-EBT benefits will be added to the Ohio Direction cards of families that receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, the release said. Families that do not receive SNAP benefits will be sent P-EBT cards with the one-time benefit added and no application is needed, it added.

    Individuals may qualify for SNAP if their household’s gross monthly income is at or under 130% of the federal poverty guidelines. Ohioans can apply at benefits.ohio.gov.

    TOMORROW: Loveland XC Invitational @Love_XC_Invite

    Saturday, September 5th

    Symmes Township – Home of the Brave Park

    Symmes Township, Ohio – Since spectators are limited to parents/guardians of senior runners, here is how you can keep up with the race and even watch a live-stream.

    This is not a decision that we have taken lightly. The purpose of limiting spectators is to ensure that we meet all guidelines in place.

    In evaluating our options for the event the choices were to cancel the event or to limit spectators.

    We chose to limit spectators to give the runners an opportunity to compete!

    We want to give our runners every opportunity to have a complete season. We also want our senior parents/guardians to have the opportunity to see their athlete on the course at least one last time!  

    We are doing several things to help alleviate the disappointment for parents and families.

    HERE IS THE RACE 411 WITH ALL OF THE DETAILS OF WHEN EACH RACE WILL START

    I hope you are all healthy and finding your way through this unusual year of 2020. To that end the 2020 Captain Seth Mitchell Hero 5K scheduled for 10/10 in Nisbet Park will now be a VIRTUAL event to take place throughout the month of October. This means that even David Miller can now participate!   We will need video proof sources, but please none of those 70’s gym shorts……………

    Our local team of Damien Cook, Marisa Sobb, Mollie Schrichten and Greg Carpinello (recently moved to Portland, OR) have developed an event that should be fun for all. Additionally we have a new website and link to the event.

    Thanks for the continued support for 11 years (as of October).

    About Seth Mitchell

    Captain and pilot in the United States Marine Corps and a 1997 Loveland High School graduate, was killed in action in Afghanistan in October 2009.  Seth contributed greatly to the Loveland community in his youth… he served as a leader and role model on the varsity football team, was voted to be Class President his senior year, and was named “Mr. Personality” by his peers.  He was well loved here.  After graduating, he took that same sense of service and loyalty into all that he did: as a son, a brother, a friend, a leader in the Marines.

    In other words, Seth was a hero for all.

    We are a group of Seth Mitchell’s high school classmates, who miss our friend and want to keep his memory alive.  We represent the many people who Seth made an impression on with his sense of humor, kind heart, and loyal friendship.  As we organize this 5k Race and the scholarship memorial fund, we are motivated by one enduring inspiration: to live each day a little more honorably, kindly, and humbly… just like Seth.
