AI Summary
This bill, the Summer Meals Act of 2021, aims to improve the efficiency of the Summer Food Service Program for Children, which provides meals to low-income children during the summer months when school is not in session. Key provisions include: 1) reducing the threshold for schools to participate in the program from 50% to 40% of students eligible for free or reduced-price meals, 2) allowing non-school service institutions to serve up to one meal and one snack per child per day during afterschool hours, weekends, and school holidays, 3) authorizing competitive grants for service institutions to use innovative approaches like limited transportation and mobile meal trucks to increase participation in hard-to-reach areas, and 4) allowing service institutions to serve a third meal in addition to breakfast and lunch.
