Feed Hungry Kids Act

This bill would make it easier for schools in high‑poverty areas to serve free breakfast and lunch to every student. It lowers the share of “identified students” a school needs to qualify for universal meal service to 25%, so more schools can participate and more kids can eat at no cost.

The new threshold starts with school years that begin on or after July 1, 2025.

• Who is affected: Public schools in high‑poverty areas, students, and their families.
• What changes: The minimum “identified student” percentage to offer meals to all students drops to 25%.
• When: Applies to each school year beginning July 1, 2025, and after.
