When school lets out for summer, many families lose access to the free or reduced-price meals their children receive during the academic year. For parents of children with special needs, that gap can create additional financial pressure, especially when dietary requirements or specialized nutrition needs increase grocery costs. The good news is that the SUN Bucks 2026 program, also known as Summer EBT, continues to provide eligible families with grocery assistance during the summer months. Understanding how the program works can help families maximize available benefits and avoid missing important deadlines. Families who take the time to verify eligibility and monitor communications can ensure they receive the support available to them.
