Spend your Summer EBT at GrowNYC Greenmarket and Farmstand locations!

July 17, 2024
Posted in Greenmarket

Spend your Summer EBT at GrowNYC Greenmarket and Farmstand locations! 🍅🍉

Beginning in July 2024, New York State (NYS) will launch Summer EBT, a new program that provides low-income families with food benefits to help buy groceries during the summer when school children might not have access to school meals.

Can you use your Summer EBT benefits at GrowNYC Greenmarkets or Farmstand locations?

YES! Summer EBT benefits can be used just like SNAP benefits to buy food at grocery stores, farmers markets, and other SNAP-authorized retailers. Eligible families can use  Summer EBT at their neighborhood GrowNYC Greenmarket and Farmstand locations. What’s more, you can double your money! Spend $2 in SNAP-EBT and Summer EBT, get a bonus $2 Health Buck to spend on fruits and vegetables, up to $10 per day.

Who is eligible to receive this benefit? 

Families currently receiving SNAP will automatically be enrolled in the Summer EBT program. The majority of recipients will be auto-enrolled based on their SNAP and free meal eligibility. For families not auto-enrolled but with qualifying children, a letter with instructions on how to receive benefits will be sent directly to them.

What if you do not receive a letter but think your child/student qualifies?

Some students who are not automatically eligible may be able to receive Summer EBT food benefits by completing an application. Please note that in order to be eligible to apply through this application, the student must attend a school that participates in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP), AND the household's income must be at or below the limits for eligibility for free/reduced-price school meals.

Families will only need to complete one application for all students in the household, which a parent or guardian should complete. 

How much of the benefit will be distributed? 

In 2024, each eligible child will receive $120 in Summer EBT food benefits over a three-month period. There is a 122-day window to utilize all Summer EBT benefits. All unused benefits are removed from the card after this time. Be sure to use your benefits as soon as possible after you receive them.

Where will the benefit be sent to? 

All Summer EBT funds will be put onto the previously issued Pandemic EBT (P-EBT) card unless a new card is requested through the Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance website. You can request a new card through the OTDA website, which is also the place to go if you need to replace a lost or stolen card. Families that have not previously received P-EBT can also request newly issued cards through this site.

When will I receive my Summer EBT?

The first of the Summer EBT food benefits are expected to be issued beginning in mid-July 2024 and will continue through October 2024.

For more information, including determining eligibility or requesting a replacement P-EBT card, visit otda.ny.gov/programs/summer-ebt/

¡Gasta tu EBT de verano en las tiendas GrowNYC Greenmarket y Farmstand! 🍅🍉

A partir de julio de 2024, el Estado de Nueva York (NYS) lanzará Summer EBT, un nuevo programa que proporciona a las familias de bajos ingresos beneficios alimentarios para ayudar a comprar comestibles durante el verano, cuando los niños en edad escolar podrían no tener acceso a las comidas escolares.

¿Puede utilizar sus beneficios de EBT de verano en GrowNYC Greenmarkets o Farmstand?

¡SÍ! Los beneficios EBT de verano se pueden utilizar igual que los beneficios SNAP para comprar alimentos en tiendas de comestibles, mercados de agricultores y otros minoristas autorizados por SNAP. Las familias elegibles pueden usar la EBT de verano en los mercados GrowNYC Greenmarket y Farmstand de su vecindario. Además, ¡puede duplicar su dinero! Si gasta $2 en SNAP-EBT y EBT de verano, obtendrá un Billete Saludable adicional de $2 para gastar en frutas y verduras, hasta $10 por día.

¿Quién puede recibir esta prestación?

Las familias que actualmente reciben SNAP se inscribirán automáticamente en el programa EBT de verano. La mayoría de los beneficiarios se inscribirán automáticamente en función de su elegibilidad para SNAP y comidas gratuitas. A las familias que no estén inscritas automáticamente pero que tengan hijos que reúnan los requisitos, se les enviará directamente una carta con instrucciones sobre cómo recibir los beneficios.

¿Qué pasa si usted no recibe una carta pero cree que su hijo/estudiante califica?

Algunos estudiantes que no reúnen los requisitos automáticamente pueden recibir las prestaciones alimentarias EBT de verano rellenando una solicitud. Tenga en cuenta que para ser elegible para solicitar a través de esta aplicación, el estudiante debe asistir a una escuela que participa en el Programa Nacional de Almuerzos Escolares (NSLP), Y los ingresos del hogar debe estar en o por debajo de los límites de elegibilidad para comidas escolares gratuitas / precio reducido.

Las familias sólo tendrán que rellenar una solicitud para todos los estudiantes de la unidad familiar, que deberá cumplimentar uno de los padres o el tutor.

¿A cuánto ascenderá la prestación?

En 2024, cada niño que cumpla los requisitos recibirá 120 dólares en prestaciones alimentarias EBT de verano durante un periodo de tres meses. Hay un plazo de 122 días para utilizar todos los beneficios EBT de verano. Todos los beneficios no utilizados se eliminan de la tarjeta después de este tiempo. Asegúrese de utilizar sus beneficios lo antes posible después de recibirlos.

¿A dónde se enviarán los beneficios?

Todos los fondos de EBT de verano se pondrán en la tarjeta EBT Pandémica (P-EBT) emitida anteriormente a menos que se solicite una nueva tarjeta a través del sitio web de la Oficina de Asistencia Temporal y por Discapacidad. Usted puede solicitar una nueva tarjeta a través de la página web de la OTDA, que también es el lugar para ir si usted necesita para reemplazar una tarjeta perdida o robada. Las familias que no hayan recibido anteriormente la P-EBT también pueden solicitar las nuevas tarjetas emitidas a través de este sitio.

¿Cuándo recibiré mi EBT de verano?

Se espera que las primeras prestaciones alimentarias EBT de verano se emitan a partir de mediados de julio de 2024 y continuarán hasta octubre de 2024.

Para obtener más información, incluida la determinación de la elegibilidad o la solicitud de una tarjeta P-EBT de reemplazo, visite https://otda.ny.gov/programs/summer-ebt/.

Through Farmstands, GrowNYC sells fresh, affordable food in underserved and under resourced neighborhoods across NYC. The food sold at Farmstands is grown by farmers in the Northeast and transparently sourced through GrowNYC Wholesale. This vital food access program also offers important job opportunities for New Yorkers, ensures healthy, fresh food access across the city, and provides vital revenue for family farms in the Northeast.

All GrowNYC Greenmarkets and Farmstands accept SNAP/EBT, Debit/Credit, Healthfirst OTC cards (LIP and CC members only), WIC & Senior FMNP coupons, and Greenmarket Bucks accepted.
Spend $2 in SNAP/EBT/P-EBT, get bonus $2 Health Buck, up to $10 per day.

GrowNYC Fresh Food Box 
GrowNYC Fresh Food Box sites are also part of a network of food access retail sites operated by GrowNYC. Through Fresh Food Box, customers pay one week in advance for a pre-assembled box of healthy, fresh fruits and vegetables grown primarily by regional farmers and sourced through GrowNYC Wholesale. The program allows customers to take advantage of the cost benefit of buying in a group and enjoy the flexibility of a weekly commitment while supporting farmers. All Fresh Food Box sites currently operate year-round.

Jazz Foundation at GrowNYC Greenmarkets

October 1, 2021
Posted in Greenmarket

Come out and hear Jazz Foundation musicians playing at GrowNYC Greenmarkets!

The Jazz Foundation of America, a non-profit organization based in Manhattan, provides retired professional jazz musicians with the opportunity to continue performing.

Through their "Gig Fund," the Jazz Foundation produces free, “pop-up” performances for underserved audiences. The shows take place in public spaces as opposed to traditional and costly venues, and engage new audiences who would not otherwise have the chance to hear these accomplished players. We are thrilled to announce the schedule of performers coming out to GrowNYC Greenmarkets.
