On June 24, 2022, Congress passed the Keep Kids Fed Act (KKFA), which equips schools, summer meal sites, and child care food programs with extra resources so they can continue serving children through school year 2022-23.

KKFA extended flexibilities for summer meals in 2022, which made it easier to feed all students during the summer months, particularly those in rural areas, through flexible options such as meal delivery and grab-and-go. Programs like Orange County, Florida’s “Summer BreakSpot” helped to feed children this summer as a result of the KKFA. In this video, FNS Administrator Cindy Long joined SERO staff at a “Summer Break Spot” in Orlando, Florida. Learn how this innovative program operates during the summer months providing free, fresh, healthy meals to children and young adults.
