CNP SAF (o) - child nutrition program

This $166,217 Formula Grant award, provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service under the State Administrative Expenses for Child Nutrition (CFDA 10.560) program, supports the Connecticut Department of Education (CDE) in overseeing and providing technical assistance for critical child nutrition initiatives across the state.

The funding enables CDE to administer and supervise programs such as the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, Child and Adult Care Food Program, and Emergency Food Assistance Program. This helps ensure nutritional services are effectively delivered to children in local schools, districts, and institutions throughout Connecticut. The award will cover CDE's administrative expenses related to these child nutrition efforts during the October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025 performance period.
