Summer Meals REACH Act of 2025
This bill (S 2559) amends the Summer Food Service Program for Children under the National School Lunch Act to expand access to summer meals. It directly affects children in low-income areas by making **all children eligible** for meals (removing prior restrictions) and allowing **non-congregate meals** (meaning meals can be served without requiring children to gather in one location). Key provisions include requiring onsite or offsite food service monitoring and revising payment rules to cover meals served to all eligible children. The changes aim to simplify access and increase participation in the program.
