[Foodprogrampartners] Summer EBT Community Partner Update: App Extension to Sept 30!

[Summer EBT]

Hello Community Partners,

As the air begins to cool and households return back to school, the Summer EBT program for 2024 is beginning to come to a close. Earlier this month, we received approval from USDA Food and Nutrition Services to extend the application window for 2024 until the end of this month. The last day for families to apply for 2024 Summer EBT benefits is Sept. 30, 2024. To find out more about this change, please take a moment to review ODHS’ press release<https://apps.oregon.gov/oregon-newsroom/OR/ODHS/Posts/Post/summer-ebt-application-deadline-extended-sept-30-2024> on Sept. 05, 2024, announcing this extension. With more time for families to apply for Summer EBT, outreach efforts continues to spread across Oregon to reach as many eligible families as possible.

I wanted to take a moment to share our most recent Summer EBT Community Partner newsletter for September with you in English<https://www.oregon.gov/odhs/providers-partners/self-sufficiency/Documents/sebt-partner-news-sept-2024-en.pdf> and Spanish<https://www.oregon.gov/odhs/providers-partners/self-sufficiency/Documents/sebt-partner-news-sept-2024-es.pdf>. You can also find the PDF versions of these newsletters, attached. If you have a few moments today, please take a peek at this newsletter that includes a few short articles about:


  *   2024 Summer EBT application closure date extended to Sept. 30, 2024+2
  *   Additional ways you can help reach more potentially eligible families
  *   Food resources for the school year ahead
  *   Summer EBT call center update with stories of how Summer EBT is helping Oregon families
