RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment & Human Services Department Director, or designee, to apply for and accept funds in an amount not to exceed $1,500,000 from the Child and Adult Care Food Program Day Center sponsorship grant in the California Department of Education to provide daily nutritious and healthy snacks, for the period October 1, 2017 through September 30, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No County match.
100% State funding.

This board order is to submit a renewal application with the State that will allow continued reimbursement of food costs associated with the daily operations of the early care and education children’s center for the 2017-18 year. Expected receipts of funds are included in the department’s FY 2017-18 budget.

BACKGROUND:

The Community Services Bureau of the Employment & Human Services Department participates in the State of California’s Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) to provide daily nutritious meals and snacks for the department’s 15 early care and education centers. The submission of the renewal application is essential to continued food service operations.

The renewal re-certifies the County for the food program and makes the County eligible to receive reimbursement for food costs in the preparation of meals and snacks for 1,117 children.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, the Department will be unable to seek reimbursement for food program costs.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The Community Services Bureau of the Employment & Human Services Department’s Food Services program supports two of Contra Costa County’s community outcomes: “Children Ready for and Succeeding in School” and “Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing.” These outcomes are achieved by offering comprehensive services, including high quality early childhood education, nutrition, and health services to low-income children throughout Contra Costa County.
