Preserving Community Food Assistance Act of 2026

This bill changes the Emergency Food Assistance Act of 1983, which governs a federal program that supplies food to community food providers such as food banks. It adds language allowing the State agency that runs the program to choose to require documented proof that people seeking food live in the area. Examples of accepted proof listed in the bill include a photo ID card, a piece of mail, residency documentation, or a similar document.
