Bill > SF1765

This bill appropriates $1,000,000 from the state's general fund in fiscal year 2026 to the commissioner of children, youth, and families, specifically to provide a grant to the Greater Minneapolis Council of Churches for supporting food shelves. The grant funds will be distributed to food shelves that are enrolled in the Minnesota FoodShare program, using the program's existing distribution formula. The appropriation is a one-time allocation, and the Greater Minneapolis Council of Churches is required to submit a report to the commissioner by August 1, 2026, detailing the number of food shelves that received funds, the specific amount distributed to each food shelf, and any administrative expenses. The organization is permitted to use up to 5% of the total appropriation for administrative costs. This bill aims to provide financial support to local food shelves to help address food insecurity in the Minneapolis area.
