💙 At GACM, we’re here to make sure our neighbors know about resources like this.

💡 Have you heard of SUN Bucks (Summer EBT)? It's a program that can help families put food 🥕 on the table while school is out.

Eligible families can receive $120 per child to buy groceries during the summer months — helping fill the gap when school meals aren’t available.

This support can be used at grocery stores and farmers markets to purchase food for your household.

And remember — our Food Cupboard is here every Thursday to support you as well.
