Get help buying food for kids this summer
June 22, 2026
Kids in Washington may qualify for summer food benefits when school is not in session. These benefits can help families buy groceries during the summer months.
This summer, as many as 577,000 Washington children will receive SUN Bucks––funds to help buy food when school is not in session––through the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Summer Electronic Benefit Transfer program. The SUN Bucks benefits, a one-time payment of $120 per eligible child, will be deposited onto new SUN Bucks cards starting early June 2026.
