Establishing Summer Feeding for All Program

SB 155 creates a framework for West Virginia counties to expand access to nutritious meals for students during school breaks, including summers. It requires each county public school system to conduct annual surveys of students about their food access when schools are closed, map community food resources (like local charities), and share this information with all students. Counties must also provide training for organizations running meal sites and share survey results with the state’s Child Nutrition Office. The bill removes prior requirements for schools to include specific food delivery plans in crisis response plans, instead encouraging voluntary, community-driven solutions. This affects all public school students in West Virginia counties and aims to reduce food insecurity during non-school periods.
