Help stretch your budget this summer.☀️
SUN Bucks is an income-based food support program that provides families with $120 per eligible school-aged child to buy groceries when school is out for the summer.

This year at farmers markets that accept SNAP, you can use your SUN Bucks to get a $10 match.

The Red Wing Area Farmers Market Association and Lake City Market By the Lake accept SNAP.

Summer is here! In Minnesota, that means SUN Bucks is back to combat childhood hunger for the third year in a row. Eligible school-aged children will receive $120 in SUN Bucks grocery benefits to help buy healthy lunches while school is not in session. Providing access to nutrition in the summer helps kids thrive all year long. Benefits have already been issued to many eligible families, while others will receive theirs later this summer.

If you haven’t received a text message or email from the SUN Bucks program yet and believe your child is eligible, contact your child’s school for the Application for Educational Benefits (also known as the application for free or reduced-price school meals).

Submit this application to your child’s school by Aug. 31, 2026 to be considered for 2026 SUN Bucks benefits.

Find out who is eligible for SUN Bucks and see all the FAQs at https://dcyf.mn.gov/sun-bucks
