 This organization is an equal opportunity provider.

The Summer Electronic Benefit Transfer Program for Children (Summer EBT or SUN Bucks) Summer EBT or SUN Bucks is a new grocery benefit available to low-income families with school-aged children. Summer EBT benefits will be loaded to a household's Ohio Direction Card, or a card will be sent to each eligible child.

Families can use the card to buy food during the summer at grocery stores, farmers markets, and other authorized retailers. Families will receive a one-time benefit of $120 for each eligible child. Participation will not affect families immigration status.

Who is Included and How Do I Apply?

All students attending Galion City Schools, including graduated seniors, who were approved for Free/Reduced Lunch meals will be eligible.

If your household already participates in SNAP, OWF, or if income eligible and receiving Medicaid benefits, your child will automatically be enrolled to receive summer benefits with no further action.

If you completed a meal eligibility application for 2023-24 school year and were approved for FREE/REDUCED meal benefits, your child will be enrolled to receive summer benefits with no further action.

Galion Online Academy students do not have access to the National School Lunch Program, therefore are not allowed to be submitted by the Galion City Schools to receive the Summer EBT. However, if the student is on SNAP, OWF, or Medicaid (and the household is within income eligibility for the Free/Reduced Lunch), they will automatically receive the Summer EBT.

If you are unsure if you qualify for Summer EBT, we encourage you to complete the application at https://sebt.ohio.gov/apply/ - IF IN DOUBT, FILL IT OUT!
