Bill > HF1926

This bill appropriates $1,000,000 from the Minnesota state 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 that program's existing distribution formula. The appropriation is designated as a one-time funding allocation. The bill requires the Greater Minneapolis Council of Churches to submit a report to the commissioner by August 1, 2026, detailing the number of food shelves receiving funds, the specific amount distributed to each food shelf, and any administrative expenses. To support administrative operations, the organization is permitted to use up to 5% of the total appropriation for administrative costs. This legislation aims to provide direct financial support to local food shelves to help address food insecurity in the Minneapolis area.
