MARYLAND – Governor Moore has announced the launch of the 2026 Summer Electronic Benefit Transfer (SEBT) program, also known as Maryland SUN Bucks.
The program runs from June through August to ensure no child goes hungry when school doors close for the summer. Last summer, Maryland distributed $75 million in direct benefits to feed more than 630,000 students — the largest investment in combating childhood hunger during the summer months in state history.
“No child should ever go hungry, and the success of SUN Bucks has brought that goal closer to reality, ensuring students have access to essential meals to thrive in the summertime,” said Governor Moore. “This program has been a critical lifeline for families to bring food to their table, as our administration invests in communities to combat food insecurity, improve community health outcomes, and fight to end child poverty.”…
