North Carolina is running the SUN Bucks program (also known as Summer EBT) for the first time in 2024. SUN Bucks will provide grocery-buying benefits to qualifying families with school-aged children during the summer months when schools are on summer break. Student enrollment data collected and recorded at the local level for schools participating in the National School Lunch Program will help determine whether a child is eligible, and where their SUN Bucks benefits card will be sent. WCPSS families should confirm by March 28 that the mailing address on file with your school is up-to-date with the best address for the summer months. Contact: Michael Pesce (mpesce@wcpss.net)
