Summer Meals Reaching Every Area's Child Hunger Act of 2025 or the Summer Meals REACH Act of 2025
This bill permanently makes all children eligible to participate in the Summer Food Service Program. This includes requiring reimbursement to camps for meals served to all children.
This Department of Agriculture program provides free meals to children in low-income areas through eligible organizations, primarily when school is not in session. Specifically, the bill extends certain program modifications, which generally expanded the program and were authorized and implemented to respond to COVID-19.
For example, the bill permanently authorizes non-congregate meal distribution, which is meal distribution outside of the typically required group, or congregate, setting (e.g., grab-and-go meal service).
Further, the bill expands eligible service institutions by permanently allowing for on-site or off-site (i.e., remote) food service monitoring.
No cosponsors.
