The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service awarded the Texas Department of Agriculture $1,050,362 under the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CFDA 10.558) on October 1, 2025, for the period October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2027, for administration of CACFP in Texas. The program provides reimbursements for nutritious meals and snacks to eligible children and adults enrolled in participating child care centers, day care homes, and adult day care facilities, as well as to children attending afterschool care programs in low-income areas and children in emergency shelters. CACFP also funds state administrative expenses.

The Texas Department of Agriculture, as the state administering agency, passed through funding to multiple sub-recipients delivering care services. Identified sub-recipients include Professional Child Care Provider Association, Parent Child Incorporated of San Antonio and Bexar, Red River Childcare Food Program, Child Nutrition Inc., Food For Kids Incorporated, VN Taoism Association, Installation Morale Welfare Recreation Fund at Fort Bliss, W0VC USAG Fort Cavazos, and the United States Department of the Air Force (supporting child development centers at Dyess Air Force Base). Sub-awards were issued between July 2 and July 30, 2026. El Paso Human Services, Inc. also received a sub-award, though its primary mission centers on homelessness prevention and housing stability rather than child nutrition services.

Performance is located in Texas. The award is structured as a formula grant providing both meal reimbursement support and state administrative funding for program oversight and compliance activities.
