The Alabama State Department of Education (ALSDE) received a $771,091 Project Grant award from the United States Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (USDA FNS) under the Child Nutrition Discretionary Grants Limited Availability (CNDG LA) program. The CNDG LA program, identified by CFDA #10.579, provides National School Lunch Program Equipment Assistance Grants on a competitive basis to local educational agencies and schools to purchase equipment valued over $1,000 needed to serve healthier meals and improve food services.
Under this award, ALSDE will use the $771,091 in funding to deliver products and services focused on purchasing new equipment for Alabama schools participating in the National School Lunch Program. As the designated state administering agency for child nutrition programs, ALSDE will oversee distribution of this equipment grant funding to modernize food preparation and service infrastructure at the local level. This supports the CNDG LA program's goal of enhancing school meal programs and promoting student access to nutritious foods.
