CN farm to school grant

This federal Project Grant award of $100,000.00 was provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service through the Farm to School Grant Program (CFDA 10.575) to the non-profit organization Youth & Family Services Inc. located in Rapid City, SD. The grant funds will be used to implement a Farm to School program that aims to improve access to local foods in USDA Child Nutrition Programs. As the official Head Start grantee for Rapid City, Youth & Family Services has extensive experience delivering a range of education, nutrition, and social services programs for children and families in the community through federal grants. The organization has not received any prime federal contract awards based on the available data, but has served as a subrecipient on over 20 federal grants from agencies such as the Departments of Agriculture, Education, and Health and Human Services. This Farm to School grant will allow Youth & Family Services to further expand its capacity to provide nutritious, locally-sourced food options for the USDA Child Nutrition Programs it administers.
