Bill > SF2647

This bill establishes a prepared meals food relief grant program administered by the Minnesota Department of Human Services. The program aims to provide hunger relief to Minnesotans experiencing food insecurity and who have difficulty preparing meals due to limited mobility, disability, age, or lack of resources. Eligible grantees are nonprofit organizations with a history of providing and distributing prepared meals tailored to the cultural, religious, and dietary needs of the populations they serve. The bill appropriates $5 million in fiscal year 2023 and $5 million in fiscal year 2024 for the grant program, which is effective upon final enactment.
