New SUN Bucks summer food program

SUN Bucks (Summer EBT) is a new federal program that will provide qualified students with $120 to purchase groceries while school is out this summer. 

The district has already notified families of students who automatically qualify for the program. Families should make sure we have their current address on file in order to receive the SUN Bucks EBT cards, which we anticipate will be mailed in June. 

If your child is not currently eligible for meal benefits but your family may qualify, now is the time to apply through SBLSD. Applications will be accepted through Aug. 31. Two ways to apply: 

• Electronically through Skyward Family Access (preferred method)

• Printable paper application (Spanish, Russian, Ukrainian); return to your child’s school or scan and email it to child_nutrition@sumnersd.org

For questions regarding SUN Bucks, please call the Child Nutrition office at (253) 891-6450.
