Samaritan Community Center's updated list of food resources in Washington County.
Summer EBT provides grocery-buying benefits to low-income families with school-aged children when schools are closed for the summer. Summer EBT benefits will come in the form of pre-loaded cards that families can use to purchase groceries. Starting in the summer of 2024, families will receive $120 per eligible child. These benefits work together with other available FNS nutrition assistance programs, such as summer meal sites, SNAP, and WIC, to help ensure kids have consistent access to critical nutrition when school is out. You may automatically qualify for Summer EBT without the need to apply. Use the tool on this webpage to determine if you automatically qualify, need to apply, or do not qualify. If you do not automatically qualify and need to apply, you can fill out the application form here and bring it to your local DHS office or email it to summerEBT@dhs.arkansas.gov. If you have questions about Summer EBT, check out these FAQs or reach out to your school's social worker. Additionally, feel free to use the informational links below.
