The North Dakota Department of Public Instruction was awarded a $250,000 Formula Grant by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service under the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CFDA 10.558). The grant, effective October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2025, will enable the state agency to provide nutritious meals, snacks, and nutrition education services to children and elderly or impaired adults enrolled in non-residential day care facilities and afterschool care programs across North Dakota.

The Department of Public Instruction sub-awarded portions of the grant to two non-profit organizations, Southeastern North Dakota Community Action Agency and Heartland Child Nutrition Inc., to administer the Family Child Care Home (FCCH) components of the program. These sub-awards will fund the administrative and operational costs as well as the provision of CACFP meals and snacks at family child care homes throughout the state.
