This federal Formula Grant award of $1,267,955.00 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service supports the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CFDA 10.558). The program provides funding to the State of North Carolina Department of Health & Human Services to administer a nonprofit food service program that delivers nutritious meals and snacks to children and elderly or impaired adults enrolled in nonresidential day care facilities and afterschool care programs. The award period runs from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025. The 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. As the state-level administering agency, the North Carolina Department of Health & Human Services will sub-award funds to local school districts, nonprofits, tribal organizations, and day care providers to implement the meal services and nutrition education at the community level.
