## Summary

**Expands Emergency Food Assistance Program funding and delivery to reach more communities.** It would add a $500 million annual commodity line for FY2026–2030 and change how commodities and fresh produce are bought and delivered to better meet nutrition and access needs. - Families and food-insecure households would see more and potentially fresher food through EFAP, with fresh-produce purchases allowed to weigh variety and transport distance and a stated nutrition objective. - Food banks and pantries would get bigger logistics and infrastructure support, with Emergency Food Program storage and distribution funding doubled to $200 million and infrastructure grant eligibility extended through 2030. - Geographically isolated states — including Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico, the Northern Mariana Islands, the Virgin Islands, and Guam — would gain alternative delivery options, ability to order through the Department of Defense Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, and a direct cash option of up to 20 percent of allocated commodities to buy domestic food. *Would increase federal spending by $500 million per year for 2026–2030 (about $2.5 billion total) and raise storage/distribution funding to $200 million.*
