2024 Summer Food Program
Summer Food Summer Fun!
The Madison Metropolitan School District (MMSD) provides meals to children aged 18 years and younger during summer break through the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP). Meals are available Monday-Friday at a variety of school sites and community locations (listed below) starting Monday, June 17th. All sites will be closed on Wednesday, June 19, Thursday, July 4, and Friday, July 5. No application or sign-up is required.
Summer EBT (Electronic Benefit Transfer)
Summer EBT (Electronic Benefit Transfer) is an income-based program that helps families who qualify buy food for their children while school is out. Wisconsin will send $120 in benefits for each eligible school-age child automatically at the end of June. Some families may need to apply for Summer EBT if we don’t have enough information.
For a child who attends a school that participates in the Free/Reduced Lunch system but is not aCEP school, they will get Summer EBT benefits automatically if they meet at least one of the following criteria for some or all the 2023-2024 school year:
-
Part of a household that is enrolled in another qualifying state benefit program, including FoodShare, W-2, the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations, or an income-based Medicaid program
-
Known to be a migrant, a runaway, in foster care, or experiencing homelessness
-
Has an approved 2023-2024 FRPL application on file with their school
If a child does not currently meet any of the above criteria, the following steps can be taken by their family to establish eligibility for Summer EBT in 2024:
-
Apply for free or reduced price meals by submitting an FRPL application to the child’s school
-
Apply for a qualifying state benefit program
-
Apply for Summer EBT benefits through the online Summer EBT application
If a family applies for and is approved for a qualifying state benefit program by August 29, 2024, their child(ren) will also qualify for Summer EBT and will be sent benefits automatically. Families can learn more about these state benefit programs by calling 2-1-1 or by contacting their local or tribal agency. Similarly, the 2024 Summer EBT application will be available until August 29, 2024.
