The Tennessee Department of Human Services received a $1,841,509.84 Child and Adult Care Food Program (CFDA 10.558) formula grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to provide nutritious meals and snacks to children and adults enrolled in nonresidential day care facilities and afterschool care programs across Tennessee. This funding supports the program's objectives of improving meal quality, promoting healthy eating habits, and offering meal reimbursements to participating care providers.
As part of this grant, the Tennessee Department of Human Services has distributed sub-awards to several local entities, including the East Tennessee Human Resource Agency, Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools, Shelby County Board of Education, Giving Youth A Chance, Young Men's Christian Association of Memphis & The Mid-South, Karamu Nutrition Program Inc., and Our Daily Bread of Tennessee, Inc. These sub-grantees leverage the federal funding to deliver meals, independent living services, meal reimbursement administration, and other support services to children, families, and disadvantaged youth in communities across Tennessee.
