Subject:2014-15 California Child and Adult Food Program revenue application
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
to provide daily nutritious meals and snacks for the department’s 14 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 1,600 children. The department did not receive the food
application from the State until very recently which resulted in a delay in the preparation of this board order.
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.
