Arizona households with kids and teens can receive extra food assistance support over the summer.
SUN Bucks is the Summer EBT program that provides families with $120 per eligible school-aged child to purchase groceries during the summer months when students lose access to free or reduced-price meals. SUN Bucks can be used at grocery stores, convenience stores, farmers markets 😎, and other retailers that accept SNAP benefits to purchase healthy groceries and everyday essentials like milk, bread, fruit, vegetables, and snacks.
Is your child eligible?
Use the 30 second tool in our bio (https://www.azed.gov/hns/sun-bucks-2026-eligibility-screener-guide, link in bio) to identify if your child is eligible for SUN Bucks and if you should apply. This is NOT an application for benefits.
Double Up!
SUN Bucks will be doubled at PFM, just like regular SNAP benefits! Swipe your EBT card at the green Info Booth and you’ll receive dollar-for-dollar silver tokens to be used towards the purchase of fruits, vegetables, dried beans, and edible plants.
SUN Meals provides all AZ kids and teens ages 18 and under with free meals, which may include breakfast, lunch, dinner, or snacks, depending on the location. No applications or paperwork are required. Children simply need to be present to receive a free, healthy meal.
