Summer Meals REACH Act of 2023
This bill amends the National School Lunch Act to expand access to summer meals for children. It removes restrictions requiring meals to be served in congregate settings (like schools) and establishes universal eligibility, meaning all children in participating areas can receive meals without individual income verification. Key provisions include allowing non-congregate meal service (e.g., drive-thrus or home delivery) and requiring onsite or offsite monitoring of food service. The changes directly affect children in communities participating in the Summer Food Service Program, streamlining access to meals without prior eligibility checks.
