10 Cents a Meal Evaluation
10 Cents a Meal for Michigan's Kids & Farms is a state-funded program that matches what schools and Early Care and Education (ECE) sites spend on Michigan-grown fruits, vegetables, and dry beans with grants of up to 10 cents per meal. It is administered by the Michigan Department of Education (MDE). The MDE submits a report every year to the state legislature about 10 Cents a Meal, to which partners contribute. The evaluation examines different goals and impacts of the program such as: how many different fruits, vegetables, and dry beans school and ECE grantees purchased with the grant and served to children, how many farms grew that food and where they are located, and how many additional businesses were impacted.
