Summer Meals REACH Act of 2025

This bill significantly modifies the Summer Food Service Program for children under the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act, aiming to enhance access to summer meals by eliminating several existing requirements. A core change is making all children eligible to participate in the program, thereby removing previous income or area-based restrictions that limited participation. Additionally, the bill introduces flexibility by allowing for non-congregate meal distribution , which means meals can be provided through methods like grab-and-go or delivery, rather than requiring children to eat together at a specific site. These amendments also simplify reimbursement to cover meals served to all children and permit food service monitoring to be conducted either onsite or offsite, streamlining program oversight and expanding reach.
