Indiana Families Lose Summer Food Aid | Indianapolis News

Indiana families are reeling as the state drops out of the Sun Bucks program, cutting off $120 per child in summer grocery aid — a lifeline for thousands navigating inflation and tight budgets. With over 650,000 kids benefiting last year, advocates warn this move adds pressure on households already stretched thin. Parents say the funds made mealtime easier and more affordable, while others now face steep grocery hikes. Though federal dollars totaling $70–80 million would have flowed into local stores, families can still access free summer meals and other food help by calling 211 or using the Community Compass app. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
