SUN Bucks, provides $120 per eligible child to help families buy food during the summer when school is out. SUN Bucks can be used at any approved retailer that accepts standard EBT or CalFresh benefits, including many farmers markets.
Keep scrolling for a list of farmers markets where you can use SUN Bucks and get Market Match.
On top of that, Market Match is offered to SUN Bucks customers just like for CalFresh/EBT customers. Each CalFresh and SUN Bucks card is matched dollar-for-dollar, up to a daily maximum ($15 or $20, depending on the market). That means if a family has one CalFresh/EBT card and two Sun Bucks cards, the daily maximum applies to each card separately.
Just bring the card to the market manager’s booth and have the PIN number handy.
