The Montana OPI School Nutrition Programs (MT OPI) is excited to announce the Summer-Electronic Benefit Transfer (Summer-EBT) program starting summer 2024. Legislation passed in 2022 established this new federal program to fulfill hunger gaps when children are not in school.
We strongly encourage all parents/guardians to submit a Meal Application if you have not already done so for the year and your children are not directly certified for the school.
Glendive Public School Free & Reduced Online Application.
MT OPI is partnering with the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services (DPHHS) to administer the program. Announcement of this new program and collaboration can be found in this press release.
Summer-EBT provides families with $120 per eligible child. Children must be directly certified or income eligible to qualify. Benefits will come in the form of preloaded cards that families can use to purchase groceries.
