     SEC. 4113. ASSISTANCE FOR COMMUNITY FOOD PROJECTS.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
       (1) according to the Wisconsin HOPE Lab, at least 36 
     percent of 4-year college and university students and 42 
     percent of 2-year community college students have experienced 
     food insecurity in 2018;
       (2) hunger threatens the health, cognitive ability, and 
     economic security of students;
       (3) institutions of higher education should strive to 
     collect edible surplus food from campus-operated dining 
     facilities and distribute that food to students experiencing 
     hunger instead of throwing that food away; and
       (4) institutions of higher education should partner with 
     local organizations such as regional food banks to reduce 
     hunger and support the operation of food pantries on campus.
       (b) Assistance.--Section 25 of the Food and Nutrition Act 
     of 2008 (7 U.S.C. 2034) is amended--

       (A) by redesignating paragraphs (1) through (3) as 
     paragraphs (2) through (4), respectively;
       (B) by inserting before paragraph (2) (as so redesignated) 
     the following:
       ``(1) Community college.--The term `community college' 
     means a junior or community college (as defined in section 
     312(f) of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 
     1058(f))).''; and
