Welcome to Henderson County Social Services
To improve the safety, health, well-being, independence, and quality of life for children, the elderly and disabled, and families in Henderson County.
The SUN Bucks program is back for 2026! SUN Bucks is a program that provides grocery-buying benefits in a one-time payment of $120 per eligible child. These benefits can be used to buy nutritious food during the summer months when schools are out and will be issued on a new SUN Bucks card that will function like a debit card.
SUN Bucks benefits will start to be issued when summer break begins. Many children in North Carolina will be automatically enrolled and won't need to apply. Visit the NCDHHS SUN Bucks website linked below for more information on automatic eligibility and how to apply.
For more information, visit https://www.ncdhhs.gov/sunbucks where you can find an interactive eligibility quiz, key updates and information, Q&A's and additional contact information
