SUN Bucks for families
with limited incomes:
This program helps low-income families buy food in the summer. Most families will automatically receive a one-time payment of $120 per child in June. If you received the benefit last year, you will get this year’s benefit on the same card. Newly eligible families received a SUN Bucks card in the mail in June.
Find more information in the DTA’s SUN Bucks Q & A.
If you need a replacement card or think you are eligible for this program and have not received a card, please call the SUN Bucks hotline at 855-425-8770.
For in-person help from a Somerville Community Health Worker, email CHW@somervillema.gov or call to make an appointment.
