Summary

The Texans Feeding Texans Home-Delivered Meal Grant Program aims to enhance existing meal services for seniors and disabled individuals by providing essential funding. Counties can qualify for grants based on their senior populations, ensuring that meal providers receive $0.25 per eligible senior. This initiative supports the delivery of nutritious meals to homebound individuals, promoting health and well-being in Texas communities. The Texas Department of Agriculture collaborates with counties and providers to facilitate funding and ensure program success.

Overview

The Texans Feeding Texans Home-Delivered Meal Grant Program was established to help supplement and extend the applicants current home-delivered meal program for seniors and/or disabled Texans. County Role Counties can bring TDA dollars to their communities by making qualifying grants to meal providers. County grants should be based on the county seniors as reported by the census: 2020 Census Numbers per County. A grant equivalent to $0.25 per county senior as reported in the 2020 census qualifies meal providers for funds under the Program.   County grants at rates less than $0.25 per county senior will qualify providers for correspondingly smaller TDA grants. If a county has multiple meal providers, the individual county qualifying grants will be totaled to determine the County's overall participation level. Meal Provider Role A nonprofit or governmental agency that delivers meals to homebound elderly (60 or older) or disabled individuals are eligible to apply for a grant through the Home-Delivered Meal Grant Program. In order for providers to qualify, they must: Receive a grant from the county in which meals are delivered, documented through a signed county resolution form. Deliver meals during the previous fiscal year to homebound elderly (60 or older) or disabled individuals.Complete a required application with accurate meal numbers. Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) Role TDA staff will work with meal providers and their counties to ensure all qualified applicants receive funding.
