Dear Families,
Free summer meals are available for children throughout the summer at select locations in our community. These meals help ensure kids continue to have access to healthy breakfasts and lunches while school is out.
Families may also qualify for SUN Bucks, a summer grocery benefit program that helps purchase food for school-aged children during the summer months.
We encourage families to learn more about local meal sites and SUN Bucks eligibility to take advantage of these helpful summer resources.
Thank you, and we hope you have a safe and wonderful summer!
