Illinois Summer EBT
Summer EBT 2025 (aka SUN Bucks) is a benefits program that provides families with a $120 one-time benefit for each eligible school-aged child. The benefits are intended for the household to buy groceries when school is not in session. Summer is a time when many children lose the free and reduced-price meals they get at school, and when households may need help putting meals on the table. Most eligible households will receive benefits automatically, but some households will need to apply.

Missouri Sun Bucks
Missouri SuN Bucks is a program to help families buy food for their school-aged children during the summer months of June, July, and August. Families will get a one-time $120 benefit per qualifying child loaded onto an EBT card. These funds can be used to buy nutritious foods at authorized locations. Eligible children can also participate in other summer meal programs, and receiving SUN Bucks has no effect on immigration status. To receive information on the status of the program, subscribe to receive email updates.

Need assistance with something besides SNAP?
Not everyone who faces food insecurity simply needs food. Food insecurity can mean a household is experiencing challenges paying for food, medicine, housing, childcare, transportation, or utility bills. Simply providing food isn’t always the solution.
The St. Louis Area Foodbank doesn’t just help people find food. We work together with partner organizations and government agencies to assist with everything from SNAP applications to Medicaid applications, and more.
