DISCUSSION:
The Child Nutrition Reauthorization Act provides reimbursement for snacks served to children through age
18 who are participating in certain after school programs. The programs must be located in low-income
areas and should be designed to provide the types of activities known to reduce or prevent involvement in
juvenile crime. The basic purpose of the program is to provide care for children after the school day has
ended and the program must provide children with regularly scheduled educational or enrichment
activities in a structured and supervised environment.
The Texas Department of Agriculture has notified the City of Fort Worth that funds are available for the
Child and Adult Care Food Program for At-Risk After School Programs. It is projected that 150,000
snacks will be served to approximately 1,000 children at 19 community centers operating At-Risk After
School Programs from October 1, 2013 through September 30, 2014. The Community Services Division
of the Parks and Community Services Department will administer the program, according to guidelines
established by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Texas Department of Agriculture. Existing Staff
administers this program and the grant does not allow for the inclusion of indirect costs.
This program serves ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS.
