🍎 Summer EBT is back in 2026! 🍎

Find out how the program can help feed kids this summer. ☀️

Summer EBT (SEBT) is a grocery benefits program that helps families buy food for school-aged children when school is out. Each summer, families will get one payment of $120 on an Oregon EBT card for each eligible child to buy groceries.

• Foster care

Families may need to apply if:
✔️ Your household meets the income requirements for free or reduced-price meals at school
AND
✔️ Your child attends a school that participates in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) or School Breakfast Program (SBP)

Key Dates:
• June 1, 2026 — Call Center opens
