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 meal 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 certain after school programs and is intended to provide a safe place for school
j 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 mean as an additional benefit.
The Texas Department of Agriculture has notified the City of Fort Worth that funds are available for the At-
Risk After School Care Center component of the CACFP. It is projected that 150,000 snacks and 20,000
supper meals will be served to approximately 1,000 children at 21 community centers operating the City's
at-risk after school programs from October 1, 2014 through September 30, 2015. The Community
Services Division of the Parks and Community Services Department will administer the program, in
accordance with the guidelines established by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Texas
