Day Care Operators can now receive financial assistance for food served to children through a program sponsored by the East Tennessee Human Resource Agency (ETHRA).
The Knoxville based agency is working to identify and contact all providers of child day care programs in the East Tennessee area to offer assistance, according to Veronica Stephens, ETHRA'S Program Manager.
ETHRA serves as a sponsoring agency for the Child and Adult Care Food Program in East Tennessee. The Tennessee Department of Human Services (DHS) provides ETHRA the funds to reimburse Day Care Centers for their food cost.
No person shall, on the grounds of race, color, national origin, age, sex, or handicap, be excluded from participation of, or otherwise be subjected to discrimination under this program.
ETHRA staff members are available to provide help to any individual or group interested in obtaining a license to participate in the Child and Adult Care Food Program. Day Care Centers interested in receiving this assistance can get more information by contacting:
