The Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment (CDPHE) has been awarded a $330,540 Formula Grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Child and Adult Care Food Program (CFDA 10.558). The grant will provide funding for CDPHE to administer this program in Colorado, which assists the state in maintaining nonprofit food service programs that serve nutritious meals and snacks to children and elderly or impaired adults enrolled in nonresidential day care facilities, as well as children attending afterschool care programs. The grant covers a 2-year period from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2025. As the state public health agency, CDPHE will use the funds to deliver services such as providing reimbursements to meal providers, conducting oversight and monitoring activities, and offering nutrition education. CDPHE may sub-award portions of the grant to local school districts, nonprofits, tribal organizations, and day care providers to directly implement the meal services across Colorado.
