body
Financial Impact:
This grant agreement provides the majority of the revenue required to administer the Meals on Wheels program. The total amount was estimated in the FY 25/26 Adopted Budget. These estimated amounts will be adjusted to match the actual allocation as needed before fiscal year end. This grant consists of Federal and State funds that require 10.53% match funding, which is met through the County General Fund contribution of $35,000 ongoing, as well as through donations and fundraisers.
Background Information:
This is a contract renewal. Meals on Wheels has contracted with Chico State Enterprises for many years to receive this funding. Approval of this contract is late in the fiscal year because it is historically received months into the fiscal year. The Area 3 Agency on Aging, a program through the California State Enterprises, receives a Federal Pass through Award from California Department of Aging to provide services according to Title III to meet the needs of California's older adult population. Some of this funding is provided to Tehama County through this subcontract agreement for Tehama County's Meals on Wheels program. Meals on Wheels provides healthy meals each business day to eligible citizens in both a congregate setting and to homebound individuals.
