Dear Parent/Guardian:
Families eligible by household income or directly certified to receive free or
reduced-price meals through the National School Lunch Program, are eligible for a Summer Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT). This summer benefit provides the student a $120 grocery benefit to purchase nutritious food over the summer months. If your student currently received free or reduced-price meals this school year, his/her information has been submitted to receive the benefit.
Families who were not eligible for free or reduced-price meals during the 2024-25 school year, may use the Missouri SuN Bucks Eligibility Navigator at https://mydss.mo.gov/sunbucks-eligibility to see if they are eligible for an application.
