A new Summer EBT program is launching in New Jersey, which will help reduce child hunger by providing benefits to families with eligible school-age children for groceries. Children must be certified for federal free or reduced-price meals to qualify for Summer EBT.

Summer’s almost here—and #SummerEBT will help you get ready for it. NJ will send a Summer EBT card to eligible children's homes to purchase $120 worth of food at participating retailers. To determine eligibility or update your contact information, please contact your school.

A recent media report includes new details about House Agriculture Committee Republicans' plans for USDA’s #ThriftyFoodPlan (TFP), the basis for #SNAP benefit levels. Bottom line: This proposal would cut benefits for every SNAP participant in future years & should be rejected.

Too many NJ kids have lost access to nutritious meals over summers. The new Summer EBT program will provide support for students and families to shop for healthy food when school is out of session. Please go to nj.gov/summerebt/ for info & share with your community. NJDA
