This program aims to improve nutritional quality, promote healthy eating habits, and ensure access to proper nutrition for vulnerable populations through meal reimbursements and related support services. The grant has a performance period from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2026. As the state-level education department, the Kentucky Department of Education will sub-award funds to local school districts, nonprofits, tribal organizations, and day care providers to implement meal services and nutrition education at the community level.
