In the summer of 2024, Washington State will launch Summer EBT, “SUN Bucks” - a grocery benefit program that provides families $120 for each ELIGIBLE school-aged child to buy groceries when school is out. This benefit will be on an EBT card and will be mailed to the address on file (make sure your address is current with your child’s school).
ELIGIBILITY:
Children who live in a household already receiving assistance program benefits (SNAP, TANF, FDPIR), OR
Child attends a school that operates the National School Meal Program (K-12th grade), AND
Is directly certified for free and reduced-price school meals, OR
Submit a qualifying Family Income Survey (FIS) by MAY 30, 2024 (available at all Mount Baker School offices)
ALL Mount Baker students have access to meals at no cost during the school year, but only students who qualify for free/reduced meal status (directly from Washington State or have been approved on a Family Income Survey) will receive the SUNBUCKS benefit. Eligible school-aged children will receive their EBT card between June-August. If you have eligibility questions, please reach out to Shannon Richardson at srichardson@mtbaker.wednet.edu or 360-383-2024.
