News: Special Session and Healthy School Meals for All (HSMA) Update

Governor Polis called a Special Session to address the decrease in federal SNAP funding Colorado receives due to the passage of federal bill HR 1. A bill has been introduced to allow the Healthy School Meals for All fund to help offset some of this lost funding. If the bill passes, the November ballot language will be updated to include SNAP as an allowable use of the HSMA fund. The Special Session begins Thursday, Aug. 21, and additional updates will be shared as they become available. For questions or more information, contact Jenny Herman at [email protected] or 720-812-3119.·
