Summary of Request:  
In 2019, the California Department of Public Health, Nutrition Education and Obesity Prevention Branch granted Mendocino County $450,000 in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program-Education (SNAP-Ed) funds, for implementing the “CalFresh Healthy Living Program” through September 30, 2022. The SNAP-Ed grant was amended on October 4, 2022, to include an additional $150,000, and extend the term through September 30, 2023. 
 
Since 2019, the County has utilized a portion of SNAP-Ed funds to continuously contract with Grace Community Church to provide certain SNAP-Ed grant deliverables under the CalFresh Healthy Living Program. Through the proposed retroactive Agreement with Grace Community Church, services will continue through the end of the SNAP-Ed grant. Services provided by Grace Community Church include: recruiting a Family Advocate; attending relative meetings, conferences and trainings; providing educational classes to children, parents and other adults through virtual or in-person classes focusing on healthy eating and nutrition, physical activity and exercise, cooking, longevity and brain health; administering relative surveys; preparing and distributing relative newsletters; tracking and documenting required program specifics; and providing all required reports.  
 
The most recent Agreement with Grace Community Church for SNAP-Ed services expired on September 30, 2022. SNAP-Ed services provided by Grace Community Church continued after Agreement expiration, while Mendocino County Public Health began drafting the proposed renewal Agreement with a retroactive start date.
