To amend the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act to increase commodity assistance under the summer food service program.
This bill amends the National School Lunch Act to require that the value of donated foods distributed to service institutions (like schools and community organizations) under the summer food service program equals the national average value of donated foods, as determined by existing rules. It directly affects schools and nonprofits that provide summer meals to children by standardizing how the value of donated food commodities is calculated. The key mechanism updates Section 13(h) to mandate this national average value, replacing previous methods. This ensures consistent funding for food assistance during summer months without changing program eligibility or structure.
