Plain-English Summary

The bill would extend nutrition assistance to children during summer months when school meal programs aren't available, helping low-income families afford food when kids are out of school. It likely expands or creates summer food benefits similar to existing school lunch programs to prevent hunger gaps during the break. The measure affects families with school-age children and involves both agriculture and education agencies in its implementation.
