FORK Act of 2026

Key Points

• This bill creates a new pilot program to help schools and local groups buy or fix up vehicles used to deliver summer meals. This is specifically for meals that kids can take home rather than having to eat them at a central school building.
• Priority for the money goes to rural areas and places with high poverty. The goal is to reach children who live far from traditional summer meal sites and might otherwise go hungry when school is out for the year.
• Each grant can be up to $100,000. Organizations can use the money to buy new vans, fix old ones, or change vehicles to better store and transport food safely to remote locations.
• The program would spend $1 million each year from 2027 through 2029. It aims to test how well mobile delivery works across different states before the government decides if the program should be expanded.
