Tell Wyoming Officials: Support SUN Bucks!

Right now, Wyoming lawmakers have the opportunity to help 32,000 children across the state by opting into SUN Bucks. This means eligible Wyoming families would receive $120 per child for groceries over the summer—funded by federal dollars with minimal state investment. Our dollars aren't going as far as they once did, and families across Wyoming are feeling the squeeze, especially in rural communities where resources are already stretched thin.

With the legislative session underway, it's crucial for state leaders to hear from you. Write to them today and urge them to support SUN Bucks for Wyoming families.

Support SUN Bucks!

Dear [Decision Maker],

Summer hunger is real in Wyoming. When school ends, so do school meals, and families are left trying to make up the difference. Our dollars aren't going as far as they once did, and for families already stretching their budgets, summer can mean impossible choices.

While Wyoming offers summer food programs, they're only available at select sites, which means they can't reach every corner of the state. In a state as rural and spread out as ours, asking families to drive long distances for a free lunch just isn't realistic.

SUN Bucks gives families what they need most: $120 per eligible child to spend on groceries. No driving miles to the nearest meal site. No rearranging work schedules. Just the ability to put food on the table when kids need it.

The economics make sense too. Wyoming could bring in around $3.8 million in federal dollars for a minimal state investment. Every dollar circulates through our economy, generating between $1.50 and $1.80 in local activity. That's up to $6 million flowing into Wyoming grocery stores, ranches, and small businesses. In rural communities where every dollar matters, this kind of economic boost is significant.

32,000 Wyoming children could have the food they need this summer. All it takes is opting in.

I'm asking you to make SUN Bucks a priority for Wyoming.

Sincerely,
