Summer EBT is now SUN Bucks. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has rebranded all federal Summer Nutrition Programs under the SUN program umbrella. This new name reflects the broad, bright impact the programs have for kids across the nation and in Minnesota, helping them thrive during the summer and beyond. SUN Bucks is the official branded name of the Summer EBT program. 

For more information about SUN Bucks, Visit the Minnesota Department of Children, Youth and Families.
