Hunger-Free Campus grant program appropriation

This bill appropriates unspecified funds from the general fund for the Hunger-Free Campus grant program during fiscal years 2026 and 2027. It directly provides funding to Minnesota public colleges and universities to support campus food security initiatives, such as meal programs or food pantries. The bill authorizes the commissioner of the Office of Higher Education to distribute these grants under existing law (Minnesota Statutes, section 135A.137). This is a funding measure, not a new policy, aimed at expanding existing hunger prevention efforts at educational institutions.
