"Sponsor Of the USDA National Food Program for over 20 years!"
"FP Assistance’s mission is to reduce hunger and obesity among children in Texas and to be a leader in nutrition education. Understanding that there is a clear link between childhood hunger, childhood obesity, and poverty, we work with groups which interact with and care for low-income children the most, child care centers and after-school programs (sites). FP Assistance sponsors these sites on the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP). Through the CACFP, FP Assistance"
​
Provides financial assistance to non-for-profit and low-income child care and after school sites in the State of Texas.
Trains the staff and children about NUTRITION and the connection between childhood hunger, childhood obesity and poverty.
Monitors the sites to ensure the federal funds are being used on allowable expenses.
FP Assistance is requesting a waiver from Texas Department of Agriculture of having to avoid a specific week to do reviews for sites in geographical areas that are 100 miles or more from the FP Assistance headquarters. FP Assistance would like to be able to conduct the required reviews for the sites that are in the same geographical area for the contract year in three separate trips instead of six separate trips.
