Summer EBT helps close the summer hunger gap when children are on summer break and lose access to healthy meals at school. It will provide $40 per summer month, per child, to families with eligible school-age children. Families will use an EBT card to buy groceries at authorized retailers. FNS estimates that up to 294,000 school-age children in Oregon may be eligible. Summer EBT became a new, permanent program through the federal Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023.
During the webinar there will be an informational presentation about Summer EBT and how it is proposed to work in Oregon, along with time for questions and answers from a panel of ODE and ODHS staff. We hope you will join us to learn more and begin discussing how we can partner around this important opportunity to reduce food insecurity for children during the summer.
We want everyone to feel welcome and safe in this virtual meeting. We will provide free support for you to fully participate, including:
American Sign Language and Live Captioning. If you need other supports or languages, please call (503) 945-5600 or email Communications.DHS@odhsoha.oregon.gov. Please submit your request by Monday, March 11, 2024.
