The U.S. Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service has awarded a $2,365,964.37 Formula Grant to the Arizona Department of Education, doing business as EDA, to support the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CFDA 10.558). This federal grant program provides funding to state agencies to support nonprofit food service programs that deliver nutritious meals and snacks to children and elderly or impaired adults enrolled in nonresidential day care facilities and afterschool care programs.
As the recipient of this Formula Grant, the Arizona Department of Education will use the funds to initiate and maintain food service programs that improve the nutritional quality of meals served, promote healthy eating habits, and provide meal reimbursements to participating care providers across the state. The grant award period runs from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025. The department frequently sub-awards portions of its federal grant funding to local school districts, nonprofits, tribal organizations, and day care providers to implement these nutrition programs at the community level.
