The award funds the administration and delivery of reimbursements for nutritious meals and snacks to eligible children and adults enrolled in participating child care centers, day care homes, afterschool care programs, and emergency shelters across Michigan. The program operates through written agreements between the state administering agency and participating institutions, which maintain records and agree to serve all eligible participants regardless of race, sex, color, national origin, age, or disability.

Michigan Department of Education distributed sub-awards to six sub-recipients: Association For Child Development, Wayne Metropolitan Community Action Agency, Food Bank of Eastern Michigan, Northeast Michigan Community Service Agency Inc., Detroit Public Schools Community District, and Childtime Childcare Inc. Sub-awards were obligated in July and early July 2026. These sub-recipients deliver meal and nutrition services through their child care facilities, afterschool programs, emergency shelter operations, and food distribution networks across the state. The program also funds state administration expenses associated with oversight, institution applications, and compliance monitoring.
