Feed Hungry Kids Act
The Feed Hungry Kids Act adjusts eligibility for schools participating in the federal school meal program. Starting in the 2025-2026 school year, schools must have at least 25% of students eligible for free or reduced-price meals to qualify for a provision allowing all students to receive free meals without individual applications. This change directly affects public schools nationwide that receive federal meal funding under the National School Lunch Program. The bill sets a specific, measurable threshold for program access without altering other aspects of school meal eligibility.
