Hunger Clearinghouse Enhancement Act of 2024
This bill amends the National School Lunch Act to enhance the federal food assistance information clearinghouse. It requires the clearinghouse to provide additional information on trained volunteer utilization and hunger prevention strategies, directly affecting schools and community organizations using the program. The bill also increases annual funding for the clearinghouse from $250,000 to $750,000 per year for fiscal years 2024 through 2031. These changes aim to improve access to practical resources for addressing food insecurity. The provisions apply to the existing clearinghouse operated under the National School Lunch Program.
