No child should go hungry because they lose school meals during the summer, and state agencies have a crucial role to play in closing the summer hunger gap. SUN Bucks (Summer EBT) helps supplement the meals and snacks kids receive at summer sites and provides a lifeline to children who haven't been reached through the traditional site-based model.
We are committed to supporting implementing agencies with resources, technical assistance, and more to ensure kids get the support they need through SUN Bucks.
