DISCUSSION:
The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 authorizes funding and sets policy for the U.S. Department of
Agriculture's core child nutrition programs, which include the Child and Adult Care Food Program
(CACFP). The CACFP is administered by the Texas Department of Agriculture and is intended to help
integrate nutritious meals with organized childcare services. The At-Risk After-School Care Center
component of the CACFP provides reimbursement for snacks and meals served to children through age
18 who are participating in structured after school programs. The At-Risk After-School Care Center must
provide a safe place for school aged children to go after school, incorporate educational and enriching
activities, minimize the risk of those children becoming involved in counterproductive and potentially
dangerous activities, and provide an after school snack and/or supper meal as an additional benefit.
It is projected that 150,000 snacks and 50,000 supper meals will be served to approximately 1,000
children at 23 community centers and youth serving agencies operating the City's At-Risk After-School
Programs from October 1, 2017 through September 30, 2018. The Community Services Division of the
Neighborhood Services Department will administer the program in accordance with the guidelines
established by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Texas Department of Agriculture. Existing Staff

oversees this program. No additional City funds will be used in the administration of this grant.
A waiver by the City of indirect costs will maximize program benefits. The addition of indirect costs would
result in the reduction of services to children. The estimated indirect costs to be waived equal $5,000.00.
This program serves ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS.
This contract will be with a governmental entity, state agency or public institution of higher education:
(Texas Department of Agriculture).

The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations, receipt of the grant
