SUN Bucks (aka Summer EBT) is a new DSHS program that will provide qualified students with $120 to use to buy groceries while school is out for summer break. Students qualify for the program based on family income or if they already receive certain state benefits.
DSHS will be mailing cards to eligible families. Please make sure the district has a current address before June 14th.
Families who have not already filled out a Family Income Survey can do so through June 14th to show income-based qualification for SUN Bucks. Completed forms should be sent to your child’s school.
Please call the SUN Bucks Call Center with questions 1-833-543-3230, starting June 1st. More information can be found on the SUN Bucks webpage.

Student & Family Resource Center
Are you in need of something? We can probably help! Our resource center has a clothing bank with clothing for all ages. All of the clothing is either new or laundered before entering the bank. A household item bank may also have what you need: bedding, small kitchen appliances, and more! The newest addition to the SFRC is the food bank and hygiene bank. If you are looking for a community connection, the SFRC can help you connect with the right resource.
Schedule and appointment to visit our resource center by contacting our schools family liaison: Isabel Castaneda | (360) 426-7991 ext. 15008 | cell (360) 545-2189
Looking to donate to the SFRC?
It is the SFRC's goal to help every family find the information and resources available to ensure the most successful outcome from their educational experience in their respective schools. Please consider partnering with us this year, and thank you in advance for your contribution.
If you would like to help keep our food bank and clothing bank stocked, the following are our 'high-need' items: maseca, rice, beans, individually packed snack items, baby clothing, elementary-school-age sized clothing, new underwear, and black leggings in all sizes.
If you would like to donate your time to help sort clothing or make a monetary donation, please contact the director of the SFRC: Betty Uriostegui or the McKinney-Vento/Foster Care Liaison: Amanda Gonzales; (360) 463-4061.
