SUN Bucks email update for August 21, 2026.

Are you Missing a SUN Bucks Card? Please Call Us!

More than 36,000 children have been enrolled in the summer 2026 SUN Bucks program. Most children were automatically enrolled through participation in the National School Lunch Program free and reduced meals program at their school or the SNAP, Medicaid, or POWER programs. Has your child been automatically enrolled? Use the Check Enrollment Status tool to find out. Pro Tip: You may need to try multiple options under the “Would you like to check by” drop-down to verify enrollment. 

If your child is already enrolled and you have NOT received their card, please call us!  Their card may have:

• Gone to an old address
• Been marked Undeliverable, if your child’s last name does not match the name on the mailbox
• Found its way under the seat of your local USPS truck or otherwise lost in the postal service system.

Lost and/or misdirected cards can be replaced. Please call us at 307-777-8SUN (8786) so we can research your child’s card and ensure your child receives their benefits! 

Deadline to Apply is August 31!
