Menus, Forms, and Policies

SUN Bucks
SUN Bucks helps families with eligible school-age children buy groceries during the summer months, when students may not have full access to school meals. In California, the program is run by the Department of Social Services in partnership with the Department of Education, and schools help determine which students are eligible.

Gaby Can Help You Apply for SUN Bucks
