Families now have more ways to get their kids the nutrition they need in summer when school meals aren't available. USDA's SUN programs offer convenient, flexible options to help kids reach their full potential. SUN MEALSNearly 30 million children participate in USDA’s school breakfast and lunch programs on an average school day. When school is out for the summer, kids lose access to these healthy meals, but they still need nutritious food to grow healthy and strong. This year, Ohio will offer new summer nutrition options to help our children reach their full potential.With SUN Meals, kids 18 and under can get free meals and snacks at schools, parks, and other group meal locations. In some rural areas, SUN Meals To-Go can be picked up or delivered. And the new SUN Bucks helps families stretch grocery budgets with a $120 grocery benefit for each eligible school-aged child, so you can buy more of the foods your children love!Dig in and find out what’s available to your family.SUN BUCKSSUN 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. 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 enrolled in benefits like SNAP, TANF, or FDPIR, your school-age children will automatically be enrolled in SUN Bucks if it’s available where you live. Also, if your child attends a school that offers the National School Lunch Program or School Breakfast Program (NSLP/SBP), and your household income meets the requirements for free or reduced-price school meals, your child may automatically be enrolled in SUN Bucks.If you are NOT automatically enrolled, you can apply for SUN Bucks directly. To qualify, you must meet income limits and other requirements. The deadline to submit Fairfield Union Meal Applications for the SUN BUCKS is June 13, 2024. Click here to print an application: 2023-2024 Summer Meal Application for SUN Bucks ONLY. (Forms are also available at any school building or the district office.)Once you’re enrolled, SUN Bucks may be automatically added to your SNAP account OR issued as a separate electronic benefit transfer (EBT) card that will be mailed to your address on file. Benefits will be available at the beginning of July and expire 122 days after benefits are received.SUN MEALS TO-GOUSDA is making SUN Meals more convenient!
