Call to Action In summer 2024, more than 600,000 Hoosier children received a lifeline—$120 in SUN Bucks benefits to help families buy groceries when school meals weren’t available. Funded entirely by the USDA, this program brought over $70 million into Indiana communities. Now, Governor Braun has quietly withdrawn Indiana from this critical program for summer 2025.This decision hurts our most vulnerable neighbors—especially in rural communities, where summer meal sites are scarce and hard to reach. Urban areas like Indianapolis may have parks-based programs, but in small towns and farm counties, kids are left behind. The irony? By rejecting these USDA funds, Indiana also turns away money that would have gone straight to local farmers and grocers.
We’ve changed this administration’s mind before. We can do it again. But it will take all of us raising our voices now.TAKE ACTION: Call Governor Braun’s office at 317-232-4567Tell him:You’re outraged Indiana is turning away federal funds that feed hungry kids.This decision hurts rural families the most.SUN Bucks help children, farmers, and communities.It’s not too late—Indiana can still opt in.If you represent a nonprofit or service organization, speak on behalf of your network. If you’re a parent, neighbor, or advocate—your voice matters. Share this action with your board, staff, friends, and grassroots partners.No child should go hungry because school is out. Demand Indiana do better.
