Description
It could be a long summer, leaving many kids hungry around San Diego County. When they are out of school, they don't have access to meals at school. For some, that can mean no meals at all.
A new federal program aims to help students' families during the summer months. It’s called SUN Bucks and it will put $120 in the pockets of families with students who qualify.
“Prices are crazy and everything has gone up and jobs are kind of like low right now and the paychecks are low, so this is a big help,” said Vrenda Tellez, a mother of twins in 3rd grade at Hawking Charter Elementary School. “Especially with them, they don’t know the word ‘no,’ so they need to have food available, and this is a big, big help for us.”
