MAYOR AND COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
7.1.6 TEXAS HEALTH HAPPY KITCHEN GRANT 2026
DATE: 09/15/26 M&C FILE NUMBER: M&C 26-0856
DEPARTMENT: PARK AND RECREATION
SUBJECT
(CD 2 and CD 8) Ratify Acceptance of a Grant in the Amount of $7,500.00 from Texas Health
Community Hope to Support The Happy Kitchen/La Cocina Alegre® Nutrition Education at
Three Fort Worth Community Centers and Adopt Appropriation Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Ratify acceptance of a grant and execution of a Grant Agreement in the amount of
$7,500.00 from Texas Health Community Hope to support The Happy Kitchen/La Cocina
Alegre® Nutrition Education at three Fort Worth community centers; and
2. Adopt the attached appropriation and ordinance increasing estimated receipts and
appropriation in the Grants Operating Other Fund, subject to receipt of the grant, in an
amount up to $7,500.00, for the purpose of funding the Happy Kitchen/La Cocina
Alegre Nutrition Education Program at Highland Hills, Northside, and North Tri-Ethnic
Community Centers.
DISCUSSION
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to ratify the acceptance of a
grant and the execution of a grant agreement in the amount of $7,500.00 from Texas Health
Community Hope to support The Happy Kitchen/La Cocina Alegre®, a 6-week cooking and
nutrition class available in English and Spanish at three Fort Worth community centers. Staff
at Texas Health Community Hope reached out to indicate they wanted to provide a grant to
provide culturally sustaining cooking and nutrition classes and valuable educational
resources to communities facing obstacles accessing fresh, healthy food. The classes are
taught by trained peer facilitators who live and work in the communities they serve and are
specifically designed for areas experiencing high rates of food insecurity and for those
interested in managing chronic health conditions through nutrition. There was no application
process since the request came directly from Texas Health Community Hope. There is no
grant application repository number, as the Park & Recreation Department did not apply for
these funds. Since no City salaries will be charged, indirect cost recovery does not apply.
The work of Texas Health Community Hope is guided by evidence -based practices; and
together with the support of partners throughout the community, they work to create an
1of2
FORT WORTH®
environment that supports health and well-being. Texas Health Community Hope is
committed to delivering support through programs and services that help lead to
measurable, sustainable community improvements. The organization serves as a catalyst to
transform lives by investing in the vision of a healthier future for our communities. Their core
belief is "where you live shouldn't play a major role in your health and well-being." Texas
Health Community Hope works to proactively address health disparities and the social and
environmental conditions that affect overall health through innovative programs,
investments, and collaborations to make a difference in the community. Highland Hills
Community Center, Northside Community Center, and North Tri-Ethnic Community Center
will each receive $2,500.00 to cover the cost of the program.
This program serves COUNCIL DISTRICTS 2 & 8.
This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION
The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations and
adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the current
operating budget, as appropriated, in the Grants Operating Other Fund. The Park & Recreation
Department (and Financial Management Services) will be responsible for the collection and
deposit of funds due to the City. Prior to an expenditure being incurred, the Park & Recreation
Department has the responsibility to validate the availability of funds. This is an
advance grant.
