WASHINGTON, April 20, 2021 – The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) today issued a broad range of flexibilities to allow school meal programs and childcare institutions across the country to return to serving healthy meals in fall 2021 as part of the Biden-Harris Administration’s commitment to reopen schools safely. Several meal service flexibilities that enable social distancing are now extended through June 30, 2022.
This is great! The USDA is certainly looking out for kids. We are fortunate enough to not need assistance with food but I know a lot of families that aren't. I'm glad they will find a way for schools to get food to kids that need it.
