This federal Formula Grant award of $14,937,515.00 was provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service through the National School Lunch Program (CFDA 10.555). The award was provided to the Elementary & Secondary Education Missouri Department Of, the designated state education agency for Missouri, to assist in delivering nutritious, non-profit lunch services for school children across the state. The funding supports activities such as procuring food, operating meal programs, implementing nutrition education initiatives, and upgrading kitchen equipment in schools to ensure students have access to healthy meals while encouraging the domestic consumption of nutritious agricultural commodities. As the prime grantee, the Elementary & Secondary Education Missouri Department Of may issue sub-awards to local education agencies, school districts, non-profits, and other organizations to implement these services directly in Missouri schools.
