Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) today introduced legislation to end child hunger in the United States. The Universal School Meals Program Act of 2026 would offer free breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a snack to every student in America regardless of income and eliminate school meal debt while incentivizing local food in schools.

Omar co-introduced a bill to provide universal free school meals and eliminate school meal debt.

Evidence

The Universal School Meals Program Act of 2026 would offer free breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a snack to every student in America — regardless of income — and eliminate school meal debt while incentivizing local food in schools. Omar said she is proud to partner again with Bernie Sanders to introduce the bill, which would provide free breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks to students year-round.

Direct official evidence that Omar reintroduced a universal school meals bill in the 119th Congress, explicitly including year-round meals and universal coverage.

S.4518, 119th Congress (2025-2026), was introduced and read twice, then referred to the Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry. The bill title is Universal School Meals Program Act of 2026, and the full title states it would amend federal child nutrition laws to make breakfasts and lunches free for all children.

Official bill-status record confirming introduction and committee referral, but no enactment or other delivery action yet.

The press release says the bill would offer free breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a snack to every student in America, regardless of income, and provide meals year-round. It also says the legislation was introduced with more than 100 colleagues and nearly 100 endorsing organizations.

Official corroboration of the same 2026 introduction and the year-round universal school meals objective.

Assessments

never unknown A for effort

Omar clearly made a serious effort by partnering to introduce and promote the Universal School Meals Program Act of 2026, explicitly aimed at providing free breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks to every student year-round. However, the evidence only shows bill introduction and committee referral, with no enactment or nationwide implementation. Because the promised outcome has not been delivered and the available record shows a substantial legislative attempt, the best judgment is failed delivery with effort credit rather than unresolved.
