United Methodist Church Properties Of Maine

United Methodist Church Properties Of Maine, doing business as Camp Mechuwana, operates as a nonprofit tax-exempt organization that participates in federal nutrition programs exclusively as a sub-recipient of grants from the Maine Department of Education, which serves as the prime grantee for federal food service funding.

Camp Mechuwana holds no prime federal contracts or IDVs and does not bid on contract vehicles. All eight awards in the source span sub-recipient participation in the National School Lunch Program, a Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service grant program administered through the Maine Department of Education. The sub-awards, dated from November 2023 through August 2024, each describe assistance to states through cash grants and food donations to provide nutritious nonprofit lunch service for school children and to encourage domestic consumption of nutritious agricultural commodities. Combined dollar obligation across all eight awards totals $29 thousand, reflecting the modest scope of Camp Mechuwana's federal nutrition footprint. Activity runs at four awards per year across 2023 and 2024, with the Maine Department of Education as the sole prime grantee and therefore the sole customer agency in the source data. The organization's federal role is tethered entirely to school lunch program administration at the sub-recipient level; it neither holds independent contracting authority nor appears on contract vehicles.
