Summer Meals REACH Act of 2026

The Summer Meals REACH Act of 2026 expands the Summer Food Service Program to allow all children to receive meals regardless of their income or residency status. It authorizes the distribution of these meals in noncongregate settings, such as homes or community centers, rather than requiring children to gather at specific locations. The bill mandates that states prioritize areas currently lacking congregate meal services and directs the Secretary of Agriculture to create new regulations ensuring the quality and integrity of these noncongregate meals within one year.
