DISCUSSION:
The Parks and Community Services Department operates two important programs that offer meals during
out-of-school time: (1) the After School Snack and Supper Program and the Summer Food Service
Program (collectively, Programs). The After School Snack and Supper Program offers free nutritious
snacks and hot meals to youth 18 and under at 21 locations in Tarrant County. With the rise in food
insecurity, an evening meal during the After-School Program may be the only meal available to these
children. The Summer Food Service Program serves nutritious meals to children at nearly 80 sites i
throughout Tarrant County. During 2012-2013, the Programs were responsible for the distribution of
568,450 meals and snacks.
The grant funds will be used to increase the number of meals provided to children in low-income
households during out-of-school times for the Programs. As an element of the gra'nt, the Programs will
use the grant funds to provide evidence-based, age-appropriate nutrition literature'to children, which is
intended to reinforce healthy eating through proper nutritional education and implement nutrition and i
physical activity standards that increase access to healthier foods and opportunitie's for physical activity.
No matching funds are required for this grant.
f
This program will serve ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS.
