Summer Fun and Summer Food!
In addition to the Solvay UFSD, kids and teens ages 18 and under can get free, nutritious summer meals at nearby places like parks, community centers, and libraries. Meals include foods like fruits, vegetables, grains, and protein. Many sites offer fun activities, too. In late June, families can use the following tools to find sites nearby (please note information is usually not available until late June): Use the map on SummerMealsNY.org Call 211 or 1-866-3-HUNGRY > Summer meals are meant to work hand-in-hand with Summer EBT, a program that provides food benefits for each eligible child during the summer months. > Families can use Summer EBT benefits to buy food at grocery stores, farmers markets, and other retailers that accept EBT. Key things to know about Summer EBT: > Families will receive a one-time payment covering the whole summer, not a recurring monthly payment. > Most eligible children will receive Summer EBT benefits automatically, but some will need to apply. This webpage (https://otda.ny.gov/programs/summer-ebt/) explains who will automatically receive benefits and who will need to apply. > Benefits should be used quickly, as they will be removed from the benefit card 122 days after they are loaded onto your card. Keep your Summer EBT card—future benefits load automatically if your child is eligible. Together, summer meals and Summer EBT help ensure kids have access to nutritious food while school is out. Visit SummerMealsNY.org to find summer meals near you and to learn more about Summer EBT. |
