(9) Before the pandemic, summer meal sites 
were required to serve meals at a defined location, 
also known as congregate meals. Due to the pan-
demic, sites and schools were allowed to serve non- 
congregate meals, meaning parents could pick up 
meals or organizations could drop off multiple meals 
at a child’s home. 
(10) Non-congregate waivers for summer meals 
made it easier for school food authorities to feed eli-
gible kids during the summer months. Allowing non- 
congregate waivers for the summer of 2022 will give 
school food authorities the stability they need to feed 
eligible kids for the remainder of the summer.
