Wildcat Families: We received information through Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education about a new program through DSS. Please see the information below.
The Missouri Department of Social Services (DSS) is currently awaiting approval on a new program called ‘Missouri SuN Bucks,’ aimed at helping families buy groceries for their school-aged children during the summer.
At this time, Missouri SuN Bucks is pending approval. However, families should start preparing for when the program launches. DSS would like local education agencies to include this SuN Bucks graphic and information in emails or newsletters to families. This information gives a high-level overview of the program and encourages families to subscribe for email alerts and to update their address if they have SNAP or Temporary Assistance.
NOTE: If families have more questions about the program, please direct them to subscribe for email alerts. DSS will send out information to individuals who subscribe.
