Free school meals will continue to be available to children from lower income families over the Easter holidays.
The funding, which is part of an agreement between the Welsh Government and Plaid Cymru, will be distributed across Wales.
It will be down to the individual local authorities on how to administer the free meal provision, either by providing lunches, vouchers or direct payments to eligible families.
Amid the cost of living crisis, its hoped the move will provide additional support to families with the free school meal until the end of the May half term holiday, covering all bank holidays during this period.
Following the announcement of the initiative, Education Minister Jeremy Miles MS explained: “No child should have to worry about going hungry over the school holidays. I am pleased that we have been able to extend free holiday provision to the May half term holiday.
