Summer Meal Delivery Program: Grants for Mobile Food Distribution in Rural Areas.
This Act establishes a pilot grant program to fund the delivery of summer meals directly to children, particularly those in rural and high-poverty areas. Eligible organizations can receive up to $100,000 to purchase or modify vehicles for mobile food distribution.
