This federal Formula Grant award of $30,156,973.56 is from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service under the National School Lunch Program (CFDA 10.555). The grant provides funding to assist states in offering nutritious, non-profit lunch services for school children across the country. The grant supports food procurement, meal program operations, nutrition education initiatives, and kitchen equipment upgrades in schools statewide. As the prime grantee, the Louisiana Department of Administration will distribute sub-awards to local educational entities, school districts, and non-profit organizations to carry out these child nutrition services across Louisiana.
Through the sub-awards, these entities will deliver healthy meals, snacks, and nutrition education to eligible students, with a focus on serving low-income children. The sub-awardees include school districts, charter schools, child care providers, and non-profit organizations that specialize in youth nutrition programs. Services provided under the sub-awards include administering the National School Lunch Program, operating child care food programs, and distributing meals and nutrition assistance to children in need throughout Louisiana.
