Tell Georgia Officials: Support SUN Bucks!

More than 1 million Georgia children don’t have reliable access to food when school lets out for summer. SUN Bucks would put $120 per child directly into eligible families’ grocery budgets and Georgia is on the verge of making it happen for summer 2027.

But the legislative session is closing fast, and this funding needs to stay in the final state budget. Write to your legislators today and help push SUN Bucks across the finish line.

Support SUN Bucks!

Dear [Decision Maker],

When school lets out, too many Georgia kids go hungry. Our dollars aren't going as far as they once did, and summer is when families feel the squeeze most. Kids lose access to school meals, and parents are left struggling to fill the gap.

SUN Bucks offers a solution. Eligible families would receive $120 per child to buy groceries over the summer. No driving to meal sites, no work schedule conflicts, just the flexibility to stock their kitchens with healthy proteins, fresh produce, and other foods their kids need, when they need it.

Here's what makes this a smart decision for Georgia: the state could bring in around $143 million in federal dollars with minimal state investment. That's an exceptional return. Every dollar generates between $1.50 and $1.80 in economic activity. We're talking about an estimated $214 million impact for the state, flowing directly into grocery stores, farmers' markets, and small businesses across Georgia, especially in rural communities. SUN Bucks strengthens local economies and supports hardworking Georgians.

And the vast majority of Georgians support this. According to a 2024 survey, more than 80% of adults across the political spectrum believe our state should participate in SUN Bucks. Families know summer shouldn't mean kids go without nutritious food.

This is straightforward: opt in, unlock federal dollars, help families afford groceries, and strengthen local economies. Georgia's children deserve this investment.

I'm asking you to continue to champion SUN Bucks and secure this investment for Georgia families for summer 2027.

Sincerely,
