Delivering for Rural Seniors Act of 2026

This bill would create a pilot program in which the Secretary of Agriculture awards competitive grants to state agencies to support home delivery of food under the Commodity Supplemental Food Program, which serves low-income older adults. States would pass the money to local or subdistributing agencies to pay for transportation, staffing, and outreach for home delivery, giving priority to agencies serving participants in rural areas. Each state grant would be capped at the lesser of $4 million or $60 times the state's program caseload. States would have to report on deliveries, costs per delivery, and best practices. The bill authorizes $10 million per year for fiscal years 2027 through 2029.
