Dear parents and families,
We're reaching out to share important information about the Summer EBT program. It’s just one program that can help families access healthy food over the summer.
What is Summer EBT?
Summer EBT provides an extra $120 per school-aged child for groceries during summer break. Last year, this program helped over 175,000 Nebraskan children access nutritious food while they were out of school!
Check to see if you’re eligible for Summer EBT
You are eligible if your household is at or under 185% of federal poverty guidelines. Most eligible families on SNAP, ADC, FDPIR, or Medicaid are automatically enrolled, but others (like you!) may qualify too. Check here bit.ly/NE-SEBT-eligibilitychecker to see if you are eligible and need to sign up. It’s quick and easy.

Summer EBT works alongside other programs like Summer Meals to ensure Nebraskan children have access to nutritious food year-round. If you need help with an application, the Food Bank for the Heartland offers support in English and Spanish at 1-855-444-5556.
