First Broad Street United Methodist Church, Incorporated

First Broad Street United Methodist Church, Incorporated, a non-profit organization headquartered in Kingsport, Tennessee, participates in federal nutrition programs as a sub-recipient of grants administered by the Tennessee Department of Human Services, with no prime contract or grant awards.

The organization's entire federal footprint consists of fifteen sub-awards, all funded through the Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service, flowing via the Tennessee Department of Human Services as the prime grantee. The sub-awards fall into two recurring program categories: the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) for center-based meals and the Commodity Nutrition (CN) Block Meals Reimbursement program. Activity accelerated recently — one award in 2023, six in 2025, and eight in 2026 — with monthly or bi-monthly sub-awards issued between September 2023 and April 2026. Combined dollars obligated across all fifteen sub-awards total $38 thousand, reflecting reimbursement-based nutrition funding rather than service-delivery contracts.

First Broad Street United Methodist Church operates exclusively as a nutrition-program sub-recipient, not as a federal contractor or prime grant recipient. The organization's role is to operate or participate in CACFP meal service delivery and to draw down CN Block reimbursement for meals provided to eligible populations, under Tennessee's administration of USDA nutrition programs. This funding pattern is characteristic of community-based organizations, congregations, and local service providers that serve as execution points for federal nutrition assistance rather than as managed-service contractors or primary program administrators.
