    SUN Bucks Summer Food Program Renewed For Kids in 2025! 

    California’s Summer EBT program, known as SUN Bucks, is returning in 2025. This food program provides families $40 per month for food in June, July, and August ($120 total) when children do not have access to school meals. 
     
    Families looking to participate in the SUN Bucks program should complete a Universal Benefits Application, however if you are already participating CalFresh, CalWORKs, and/or Medi-Cal, you are automatically enrolled. Children in foster care, and/or identified as experiencing homelessness are also categorically eligible and are automatically enrolled. Some children may need to sign up. Participating in SUN Bucks does not affect a family’s immigration status. Visit our FAQs page for more information. 

    If you think your children are eligible, please complete the Online or Paper application and return it to your child's school by September 2, 2025. If you need assistance filling out the application, please contact Delano Union Elementary School District - Amelia Jauregui at 661-721-5000, ext. 00125.
