Show Notes
Georgia lawmakers propose reinstating SUN Bucks program, offering $120 per child in grocery benefits over summer, targeting families on SNAP or free/reduced-price school lunches. Over one million children could qualify, helping cover meals during summer break. The state previously skipped the program due to nutritional concerns, but now, with bipartisan support, the debate is heating up as grocery costs remain high. Parents and advocates emphasize the need, while nonprofit leaders note increased bills without school meals. The governors office is yet to comment, focusing on the Seamless Summer program. The budget is now heading to the Senate for review, potentially bringing relief to families next summer.
