Food shelf facilities infrastructure appropriation

SF 1950 appropriates funds from the general fund for fiscal years 2026 and 2027 to improve and expand the physical infrastructure of food shelf facilities. The bill directs the commissioner of children, youth, and families to provide grants to nonprofit organizations, federally recognized Tribes, and local governments. These grants specifically support upgrades to buildings, equipment, and other physical facilities used by food shelves to distribute emergency food. The bill does not change eligibility for food assistance programs but focuses on funding the physical infrastructure supporting food distribution.
