FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact.
BACKGROUND:
The child nutrition programs are good public policy and have the potential to serve more
low-income children in Contra Costa County. The program provides low-income children
access to quality, nutritious meals and snacks while they are at school, at afterschool and
summer programs, and at child care centers and homes.
The additional funding would improve the delivery of food to children, improve the
adequacy of the reimbursements, and help to modernize technology and simplify
program administration and operation.
