The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service awarded the Pennsylvania Department of Education $586,173 under the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CFDA 10.558) on October 1, 2025, for reimbursement of nutritious meals and snacks provided to eligible children and adults in approved child care centers, day care homes, and adult day care facilities. Performance runs through September 30, 2027, with work performed in Pennsylvania.

The recipient distributes CACFP funding through multiple sub-recipients that operate as sponsoring organizations and care facilities. Community Connections For Children, Inc. receives reimbursements for meals provided to children and adults in approved care facilities, including cash value reimbursements for USDA commodity meals where facilities lack storage capacity. Clearfield County League On Social Services Inc., First Step To Nutrition Inc., and the YMCA of Greater Pittsburgh receive similar entitlement reimbursements for meals delivered to eligible participants across their respective service areas. The sub-awards, issued between November 2025 and July 2026, constitute pass-through disbursements under an entitlement program that reimburses for meal provision rather than discretionary grants.
