Bill Summary
State Food Banks
AI Summary
This bill proposes to establish a new program called "State Food Banks" within the Department of Agriculture. The program would provide funding and other support to state-level food bank organizations, which are non-profit entities that collect and distribute food to local food pantries and other charitable organizations. The bill would authorize the federal government to allocate funds to states for this purpose, and would require states to match a portion of the federal funding. The goal of the program is to strengthen the network of food banks across the country and improve their ability to address food insecurity in local communities.
