Summer Meals Act of 2015 Amends the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act to redefine "areas in which poor economic conditions exist," where the summer food service program for children may operate, as areas in which at least 40% (currently, 50%) of the children have been determined to be eligible for free or reduced price school meals under the school lunch and breakfast programs. Reimburses service institutions (other than school food authorities) for up to one meal and one snack per child each day during after-school hours, weekends, and school holidays during the regular school calendar. (Currently, such institutions are reimbursed for meals and snacks served to children over the summer months or to children who are on vacation under a continuous school calendar.) Authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture to award competitive grants to service institutions to increase participation in the summer food service program for children at congregate feeding sites through innovative approaches to limited transportation and mobile meal trucks. Allows service institutions that are participating in the summer food service program for children to serve up to three meals, or two meals and one snack, during each day of operation. (Currently, this option is reserved for camps and service institutions that serve meals primarily to migrant children.)

NETWORK strongly opposes Child the Nutrition and Education Act of 2016 (H.R. 5003) because it proposes to block grant key nutrition programs and does not provide adequate funding for summer meals. NETWORK strongly supports The Stop Child Summer Hunger Act of 2015 (S. 1539, H.R. 2715) & The Summer Meals Act of 2015 (S. 613, H.R. 1728) because the bills enhance efforts to expand the reach of the Summer Food Program to low-income children and significantly simplify the administration of the program for sponsors. NETWORK strongly supports The Early Childhood Nutrition Improvement Act (H.R. 3886) which expands and strengthens the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) so more children have access to nutritious meals and snacks in child care centers, family day care homes, and afterschool programs. NETWORK strongly supports The Tribal Nutrition Improvement Act of 2015 (S. 1937/H.R. 3502) which improves access to free meals for Native students who attend school on or near a reservation and allows tribal governments to administer child nutrition programs. NETWORK opposes efforts by States to time limit SNAP (food stamp) benefits for unemployed childless adults without disabilities.
