FORK Act of 2026 Feeding Our Rural Kids Act of 2026
To amend the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act to establish a summer meal delivery vehicle pilot program, and for other purposes.
This bill aims to add a summer meal delivery pilot program to the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act. The goal is to ensure that children continue to get nutritious meals even when school is not in session. This would particularly benefit children in areas where they might not have access to other meal programs during the summer.
The bill would affect children who rely on school meals, their families, and local meal providers who would need to participate in the new delivery program. It could also impact federal and state budgets if funding needs to be allocated for this new initiative.
HB10038 was introduced on August 3, 2026, and has been referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce for further review. As of now, the bill is in its initial stages, and no further action has been taken.
