What it does
The Fresh Produce for Families Act of 2026 would amend the Emergency Food Assistance Act of 1983 to allow state agencies to use up to 20 percent of their allocated commodity funds under the Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables through the Department of Defense Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program. This change would give states an additional option for sourcing nutritious produce for low-income families receiving food assistance. The bill affects state agencies administering TEFAP and aims to improve access to fresh produce in emergency food assistance programs.
