This federal Formula Grant award of $308,618.00 was provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service under the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CFDA 10.558). The grant supports the Connecticut Department of Education (CDE) in delivering nutritious meals and snacks to children and elderly or impaired adults enrolled in nonresidential day care facilities and afterschool care programs across the state. The key objectives are to improve nutritional quality, promote healthy eating habits, and ensure access to proper nutrition for vulnerable populations through meal reimbursements and related support services. As the state education agency, CDE will sub-grant these federal funds to local school districts, nonprofits, tribal organizations, and day care providers to implement meal services at the community level. The award period is from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2026.
