Please see the attached info for the SV Summer Lunch Program

The state of Indiana recently announced a new summer food program called SUN Bucks, which helps families in need buy food during the summer when school is out. Children are eligible for the program if: ✔️The household already participates in SNAP, TANF, or income-based Medicaid, or ✔️The student has been identified as a ward of the state (foster child), homeless, migrant, or ✔️The student lives in a home where the household income meets the free or reduced-price school meals requirements. The benefits will be provided to eligible families on a separate EBT card and mailed directly to their homes. Benefits can be used at authorized retailers, like grocery stores and farmers' markets, to purchase healthy foods, such as fruits, vegetables, meats, and other protein sources, whole grains, and dairy. These benefits are available in addition to free meals that children of all ages can get at our summer meals program. Children identified as receiving free/reduced meals will automatically receive SUN Bucks cards, which will be mailed to the address we have on file for your household. To review or update your address, please log in to Harmony Family Access and verify your address. You can update your address on Harmony or contact your child’s school for assistance. Address corrections must be made before Wednesday, May 1, to guarantee that cards are sent to the correct address. If your child is not already eligible for free/reduced meals but you would like to check eligibility, you can do so on the SUN Bucks website (https://indianasunbucks.com/home). For questions, please contact our Food Service Director, Amanda Myers, at [email protected].
