Dear Families,
We’re excited to share that the Oregon Summer EBT program is back for summer 2025! This program helps families buy food during the summer. Each eligible student can get $120 for groceries.
Who can get this benefit?
Your school-age child may be automatically eligible if:
Your family gets SNAP, TANF, or Oregon Health Plan (Medicaid) and meets income rules.
Your child gets free or reduced-price school meals and meets income rules.
Your child is in foster care, in migrant education, experiencing homelessness, in a qualified Head Start, or part of the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR).
Your school-age child may be eligible by application if:
Your family meets the federal 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).
Important things to know:
If you’re new to the program and didn’t get benefits on May 22, 2025, you must apply by Sept. 3, 2025
The money will be placed on an Oregon EBT card and can be used at most grocery stores, farmers markets, and more.
To learn more or apply, visit sebt.oregon.gov or email summerebtinfo@odhs.oregon.gov. Starting May 19, 2025, you also can call the Oregon Summer EBT Call Center at 1-833-673-7328 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pacific.
Eating well helps children stay healthy, grow strong, and do better in school. That’s why programs like Summer EBT are so important for students.
Thank you for supporting our students!
