New York State Summer EBT Program
Summer EBT is a new child nutrition program designed to help families buy groceries during the summer months when school meals are not available. This benefit provides additional support to ensure children have access to the food they need to grow, play, and thrive during summer break.
What is Summer EBT?
Eligible families will receive a pre-loaded EBT card with $120 per eligible child to purchase groceries at any location that accepts EBT, including grocery stores, farmers markets, and other authorized retailers.
Who is eligible?
Children are automatically enrolled in Summer EBT if they:
- Receive SNAP, TANF, or Medicaid benefits, or
- Are certified for free or reduced-price meals through their school
- If your child qualifies for school meal assistance and has been certified by their school, they are also eligible for Summer EBT.
How can Summer EBT be used?
Summer EBT cards can be used the same way as regular EBT cards—at any store that accepts EBT. These cards are sent by mail and are pre-loaded with funds, making them easy and convenient for families to use.

About the Summer Meals Collaborative
Launched in 2013, the Summer Meals Collaborative, powered by United Way of the Greater Capital Region,, partners with local organizations to strengthen food access and nutrition security across the Capital Region by providing FREE meals to all kids and teens throughout the summer.
Our Mission
We believe no child should go hungry, especially when school is out.
The Summer Meals Collaborative unites knowledge, resources, and community power to create a healthier, more equitable future—one meal at a time.
Our Impact
- 2.1 million meals served since 2013.
- 80+ meal sites supported annually.
- Serving children who may otherwise go without—especially those in ALICE households and families facing food insecurity.
Why it Matters
- 1 in 5 eligible children in New York State are food insecure.
- Food insecurity harms physical health, mental well-being, and child development.
Let's make the Capital Region the BEST place to be a kid in the Summer!
When school is out, thousands of children across the Greater Capital Region lose access to regular, reliable meals. The Summer Meals Collaborative brings together individuals, community partners, and sponsors to help ensure every child can access free, nutritious meals during the summer months.
