Bill overview
The Hunger-Free Summer for Kids Act of 2021 aims to expand access to summer meals for children in need by allowing states to offer alternative delivery methods. Specifically, it enables states to provide Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) cards for purchasing food and offers off-site meal consumption as an option. These alternatives are intended to reach children in rural areas or areas with high poverty rates who may not have easy access to traditional summer meal sites, and the bill sets guidelines for eligibility, funding, and administration of these programs.
