Metro Meals on Wheels funding provided, reports required, and money appropriated.

HF 3005 appropriates $497,500 for fiscal years 2026 and 2027 to fund home-delivered meals for veterans through Metro Meals on Wheels, plus technical assistance for member programs. The bill requires Metro Meals on Wheels to submit detailed reports by September 1, 2026 and 2027, documenting how funds were used and the number of veterans/servicemembers served. This is a one-time funding appropriation, not a recurring budget item, directly supporting veterans' access to meal services in Minnesota. The bill affects veterans receiving meals and Metro Meals on Wheels as the grant recipient.
