Dear Peter Hobart Families,
Summer EBT, now known as SUN Bucks, returns for Summer 2025. This program gives families $120 for each eligible student to help them buy groceries when school is out of session.
Benefits of SUN Bucks:
- It helps parents and caregivers buy healthy foods for their children.
- It gives families flexibility to select foods that fit their culture and lifestyle.
- Improves food security and diet quality for participating children.
Eligibility:
Students can be eligible for Sun Bucks in any of the following ways:
- Their household participates in MFIP, SNAP, MA, TANF, or FDPIR; they are experiencing homelessness, are migrants, are runaways, or are in foster care.
- They attend a school participating in the National School Breakfast and Lunch Programs and have an approved application for free or reduced-price meals on file by August 31, 2025.
If you have not yet submitted an application for educational benefits (meal application) this school year, you can get an application from our nutrition staff or front office or by calling 952-928-6600
To receive your SUN Bucks benefits it is important to ensure that your student's legal parent/guardian and correct address are on file with your student's school.
How SUN Bucks Works:
The benefits will be provided on a separate SUN Bucks card that is mailed to you. Families will receive $120 per eligible child to be used at authorized retailers to purchase qualifying foods. Visit the SUN Bucks website to learn more.SUN Bucks
Children and teens need healthy food year-round to play, grow, and learn. SUN bucks help families stretch their grocery budget during the summer and provide their children with the nutrition they need to thrive.
