The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Child and Adult Care Food Program (CFDA 10.558) awarded a $1,481,633.86 formula grant to the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) for the period of October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025. This federal grant provides funding to ISBE to administer the CACFP, which reimburses participating child care centers, day care homes, afterschool care programs, and emergency shelters for serving nutritious meals and snacks to enrolled children.
ISBE has sub-awarded portions of this grant to entities such as Kuehg Corp, Noble Network of Charter Schools, Day Care Resources Inc., and the Chicago Public Schools. These sub-recipients use the CACFP funding to provide meal and snack reimbursements to the child care facilities and programs they support, enabling the provision of well-balanced, nutritious food to low-income children enrolled in their care.
