Senate Passes Bill to Fund Afterschool Meals

More public schools and community groups may soon be able to provide food to low-income children, under a bill passed Thursday by the Oregon Senate. Senate Bill 480 provides $150,000 in start-up funds to the Oregon Department of Education for grants to school districts, government agencies, and community groups eligible to take part in the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Afterschool Meal and Snack Program. The bill now moves to the House.
