Summer EBT and summer meals work together to children’s access to nutritious food while school is out.
Summer Nutrition Programs
Families can use Summer EBT and summer meals together to ensure kids have nutritious food while school is out during the summer. Schools and community-based organizations can help families learn more about summer meals and Summer EBT and also serve summer meals in eligible locations.

Summer Food Service Program
Schools, parks, community centers, libraries, YMCAs, Boys & Girls Clubs, and more can serve free, nutritious meals and snacks in eligible communities.

Summer EBT
Summer EBT helps families buy food during the summer months when school is out. Families receive food benefits for each eligible child to buy food.
