Missouri SuN Bucks is a program to help families purchase food for their school-age children during the summer months of June, July and August. Families of students who were determined eligible for free or reduced price lunch during the regular school will receive a one-time $120 benefit per eligible student. The funds will be loaded onto an electronic benefits transfer (EBT) card and mailed to the household address. If you receive SNAP or Temporary Assistance, your child’s benefits will be available on that card. These funds can be used to buy nutritious foods at authorized locations.
If your student received free or reduced-price meals during the school year, his/her information has already been submitted to receive the benefit. Families who were not eligible for free or reduced-price meals may still be eligible to receive the SuN Bucks benefit. Families can check if they are eligible and/or fill out an application by going to the Missouri Department of Social Services SuN Bucks website: https://mydss.mo.gov/SuNBucks.
District 32 does not operate this program, so our staff cannot answer any questions you may have. If you have any questions regarding the SuN Bucks Program, please contact the Department of Social Services, Family Support Division, at 855-373-4636.
