Childhood food insecurity remains at unacceptable levels across the country and children are most acutely at risk in the summer when they do not have access to school meals.
Children ages 18 and younger may visit Open Summer Meals sites anywhere in the state to receive a meal. There is no application, identification, or commitment to participate in Summer Meals. This is open to all children.
Summer EBT (S-EBT) provides a one-time $120 grocery benefit for each eligible child over the summer. Most eligible children are automatically enrolled in the program, but some will need to apply. See if you are eligible and apply for $120 in grocery benefits over the summer. Visit portal.ct.gov/sebt to find out more.
