After Indiana opted out of a federal program that fed children through the summer, advocates are worried about the future of other food assistance programs.

Indiana is one of the few states in the Midwest opting out, despite successfully running the program last summer for more than 669,000 children.

Eligible families will receive a one-time payment of $120 per school-aged child. It’s to be used to buy extra groceries that often come with summer vacation.
