CNP CIL child and adult care

The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service awarded the Hawaii State Department of Education $435,787 on October 1, 2025, under the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CFDA 10.558) to provide reimbursements for nutritious meals and snacks to eligible children and adults enrolled in participating child care centers, day care homes, and afterschool care programs. The award is a formula grant with an obligation period from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, and performance takes place in Hawaii.

The Hawaii State Department of Education passes funding to sub-recipients delivering meal services at Central Oahu Location facilities. Sub-recipients include Navy Region Hawaii Welfare and Recreation Morale Division, the Department of the Army (US Army Community/Family Support Center), Honolulu Community Action Program Inc., and Seagull Schools Inc. The pass-through structure reflects the program's design to reach child care sponsoring organizations, centers, and day care homes across the state, with federal funds supporting both direct meal provision to eligible participants and state administrative expenses.
