This bill permanently extends certain modifications to the Summer Food Service Program that were authorized and implemented to respond to COVID-19. The changes generally expanded the program, which provides free meals to children in low-income areas when school is not in session.
Specifically, the bill permanently makes all children eligible to participate in the program. This includes requiring reimbursement to camps for meals served to all children.
