Description

SUN Bucks is a Summer EBT program that provides grocery-buying benefits to low-income families with school-aged children when schools are closed for the summer. Each eligible child will receive a one-time payment of $120 in food benefits on a dedicated SUN Bucks card. Benefits will be issued on existing SUN Bucks cards for families that received them in 2024, and newly eligible children will receive a new card. Call the number to replace a lost card.
