The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) awarded a $184,876 Child and Adult Care Food Program (CFDA 10.558) Formula Grant to the Maine Department of Education, running from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025. This grant assists states in initiating and maintaining nonprofit food service programs that deliver nutritious meals and snacks to children and elderly or impaired adults enrolled in nonresidential day care facilities, children attending afterschool care programs in low-income areas, and children residing in emergency shelters. The grant funds aim to improve the nutritional quality of meals served, promote healthy eating habits, and provide meal reimbursements to participating care providers across Maine. The Maine Department of Education has issued numerous sub-awards under this grant to local school districts, nonprofits, tribal organizations, and day care providers to implement these meal services at the community level. Key sub-awardees include the Young Mens Christian Association of Old Town and Orono, Town of Harmony, Biddeford School District, Westbrook School Department, and over 20 other local educational and community-based entities across Maine. These sub-awards support the provision of free, nutritious meals and snacks, the distribution of fresh fruits and vegetables, and related administrative expenses to ensure comprehensive nutrition assistance for vulnerable children and adults in the state.
