USDA has asked the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) to provide information that is not available in TX-UNPS. TDA is asking Contracting Entities (CE) that operated with COVID-19 meal distribution flexibilities from July 2020 to December 2020 to complete this form to provide the requested data. The meal distribution flexibilities are:
- Non-Congregate Meal Service
- Alternate Mealtime
- No Child Present, Parent Pick-up
- Offer vs Serve (for senior high school only).
Requested Data
School/Non-School Site: USDA has requested
- The number of meal distribution sites that are school-based and non-school based
- The number of sites providing only meals - no childcare.
If a distribution site is located anywhere on a facility used for instruction, then the site is considered school-based.
A non-school site would be any site used for food distribution that is not on the grounds of a facility used for instruction.
Examples of non-school sites are:
- Apartment Complex (Community rooms, parking lot)
- Bus Stop
- Camps
- Church
- Community Center
- Exposition Center
- Convention Center
- Home Delivery
- Housing Project
- Library
- Migrant Center
- Park, playground pool
- Parking lots for non-instructional sites, such as a football stadium and shopping centers
- A public center where children gather
- A school that does not participate in NSLP programs (such as a high school)
Thank you for providing this information to assist TDA in completing the required USDA reports.
