Protein for Every Plate Act of 2026

This bill changes the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to add money for buying animal protein for food assistance programs. For fiscal years 2026 and 2027, it adds $200,000,000 each year to the amount of commodities the government buys. The added money would be used to purchase animal protein. This food would be distributed through the Emergency Food Assistance Act of 1983, which supplies food banks and similar groups.
