Summer EBT Discontinued
The Summer EBT (SUN Bucks) program will be discontinued in 2025. As part of National School Lunch Program (NSLP) requirements, schools are required to advertise the availability of meals through the SUN Nutrition meals programs. Sponsors that serve meals at open sites on the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) or Seamless Summer Option (SSO) should advertise their meal locations. Sponsors that do not participate in summer meal service must notify families that meals may be available in the community. Sponsors can provide the following site finder resource information to households:
Hunger Hotline - families seeking food assistance for their children can contact the USDA National Hunger Hotline, operated by Hunger Free America.
