Plain-English Summary

The proposal would create a test program allowing schools to use mobile vehicles to deliver free meals to children during summer months when school is not in session, helping ensure low-income students have access to nutrition when they're not eating at school cafeterias. The pilot program would test different approaches to reaching kids in their communities during the summer break. This affects school districts, students from low-income families, and nutrition programs that currently serve meals primarily during the school year.
