YOOOOO I just got an email from my senator (Patty Murray) about the new PERMANENT summer EBT program she helped push through for families with school-age kids who need additional help affording food in the summer! Most of the US is participating*! Spread the word!
SUN Bucks is a new grocery benefit available across most of the U.S. Families with eligible school-aged children can get $120 per child to buy groceries during the summer. SUN Bucks may have a different name depending on your location. Families can receive SUN Bucks on top of other benefits like SNAP and WIC, and children can continue to enjoy free SUN Meals from local meal sites or with SUN Meals To-Go.
If you're already receiving certain benefits, you should already be signed up. If you're not, you can apply directly! Check it out!
