Hunger Clearinghouse Enhancement Act of 2023
The Hunger Clearinghouse Enhancement Act of 2023 updates the National School Lunch Act to improve a USDA resource hub for schools and community organizations. It requires the clearinghouse to include information on trained volunteers and practical ways to prevent hunger, beyond just food assistance details. The bill also increases annual funding for the clearinghouse from $250,000 to $750,000, effective through fiscal year 2031, to support expanded resources. This directly affects the USDA's operations and the schools, nonprofits, and communities relying on the clearinghouse for hunger-related information.
