This $2 million Project Grant from the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service supports the Child Nutrition Discretionary Grants Limited Availability program (CFDA 10.579). Awarded on September 30, 2021 for a two-year period, the grant funds equipment purchases and expansion of breakfast programs through subawards to eight local educational agencies and public charter schools in Washington, D.C. Subawards totaling $500,000 support the Breakfast Expansion Grant program, allowing schools like Eagle Academy Public Charter, Mary Mcleod Bethune Day Academy, and D.C. Public Schools to serve healthier meals through new equipment. Additional subawards of $1.5 million were provided under the Child Nutrition Discretionary Grants Limited Availability program to improve food service operations and serve local students. The overall funding advances the goals of the National School Lunch Program by helping local schools upgrade their equipment for providing nutritious meals to D.C. children.
