Cap csfp-admin grants to STS

This Formula Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service provides $3,059,349 to the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture for the period of October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022. The funding supports the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CFDA #10.565), which aims to improve the health of low-income elderly persons aged 60 and older by supplementing their diets with nutritious USDA Foods distributed through agencies such as food banks.

As the grantee, the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture will manage $3.06M in program funds and USDA Foods to operate the CSFP through local public and nonprofit organizations. Two sub-awards are issued to support program management and direct CSFP operations. This funding allows Pennsylvania to continue providing supplemental food assistance to low-income seniors in communities across the state in alignment with the federal program's objectives.
