Greater Minneapolis Council of Churches grant funding provided for food shelves, and money appropriated.

HF 1926 allocates $1,000,000 from the state general fund for a one-time grant to the Greater Minneapolis Council of Churches to support food shelves. The funds must be distributed to food shelves enrolled in the Minnesota FoodShare program according to that program's existing distribution formula. The Council may use up to 5% of the grant for administrative costs and must report details on fund distribution to the state commissioner by August 1, 2026. This bill directly affects participating food shelves in the Minneapolis area through the Council of Churches' grant program.
