Bill overview
The Feed Hungry Kids Act aims to expand free school meals to more students in high-poverty areas. It modifies the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act to lower the percentage of students who must be identified as eligible for free meals for a school to offer universal meal service. Currently, schools needed to identify 40% of students as eligible; this bill reduces that threshold to 25%. This change is intended to ensure more children in need receive free meals at school.
