This Formula Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service provides $792,171.33 to the Tennessee Department of Health from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2022 to support the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CFDA #10.565). The program aims to improve nutrition among low-income elderly individuals aged 60 and older by supplementing their diets with USDA foods distributed through agencies like food banks. Funds are sub-awarded to five organizations to operate the program: Memphis Area Project South Inc., Shelby County Government, County of Dyer, Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee Inc., and Netsmart Technologies Inc. for computer software services. The sub-awardees will distribute USDA commodities to low-income elderly individuals using their local infrastructure and partnerships. This funding supports the overall mission of the Commodity Supplemental Food Program to address nutritional needs in this vulnerable population.
