Sun Meals Summer Food Service Program
This summer, the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce is sponsoring SUN Meals, a summer food program where Kids Eat Free! All children ages 1 through 18 are eligible to receive free meals during the summer months at participating program sites.
Click here to locate a food site near you.
The Summer Electronic Benefits Transfer (Summer EBT) or SUN Bucks program offers money for groceries to households with children who qualify for free or reduced-priced meals. Children who qualify for free or reduced-priced meals will get Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits through the Summer EBT program. Each eligible child will get a one-time $120 benefit for the summer.
Any student receiving free and reduced-priced meals qualifies for S-EBT. Families can apply for free or reduced-price meals at any time during the school year.
If you have any questions, please contact Bill Bailey at cf_bailey@cftigers.org or (330) 926-3800 ext. 502035.
