The Illinois Department of Human Services and the Illinois Board of Education will participate in the Summer EBT Program (also known as "SUN Bucks").

"Illinois families in need will have access to a federally funded initiative called Summer Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) or SUN Bucks, which provides a one-time grocery-buying benefit of $120 per eligible student to low-income families with school-aged children during the months that schools are closed.

ISBE again will administer the Summer Food Service Program, which annually provides more than 3 million meals to children via participating school districts, community organizations, churches, camps, park districts, and other sponsors. Families in need of meals can call 800-359-2163, text “FOOD" (or “COMIDA") to 304-304, or view the USDA online map to find nearby meal sites not located at their school that are open to all children and youth ages 18 and younger."
