SUN Bucks: Summer Grocery Benefits Available for Eligible Families
Families may be eligible for SUN Bucks, Pennsylvania’s Summer EBT program, which provides a one-time grocery benefit of $120 per eligible child to help purchase food while school is out for the summer.
Many eligible children will receive benefits automatically through an existing SNAP/TANF EBT card or a newly issued Summer EBT card. Benefits for Summer 2026 begin being distributed in early June.
Children who receive free or reduced-price school meals, SNAP, or TANF benefits are automatically eligible. Most children receiving Medicaid also qualify automatically.

Miles came into a fifth grade classroom and presented his Odyssey of The Mind train. Miles's team advanced to state finals from regional did not advance to the world finals, while doing so his team was recognized with a special award rarely granted: The Ranatra Fusca Creativity Award is a prestigious honor in the Odyssey of the Mind competition, recognizing teams or individuals for exceptional creativity, risk-taking, and innovative thinking beyond just solving the problem. The train they built runs on a combination of a baking soda air pressure piston and a electric motor. The kids ended up with a vehicle using an Arduino controller, infrared limit switches, solidnoid valves, geared timing belts, voltage regulation, PWM speed control, and a custom made crank shaft.

From smiles and snacks to furry cuddles, it was a wonderful way to celebrate mindfulness, connection, and positive school experience.
