DISCUSSION
In 2016, the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) received a $2.5 million grant to
increase the number of meals served to youths through the Commit to Health Program. The
purpose of the program is to:
• Increase the number of healthy meals children in low-income communities receive through
the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) and the Child and Adult Care Food Program
(CACFP) or the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) at park and recreation sites
during out-of-school times.
• Provide nutrition literacy to children and families that create behavior change by teaching
the importance of healthy eating.
• Implement nutrition and physical activity standards that increase access to healthier foods
and increase opportunities for physical activity.
• Implement meal and program efficiencies that increase community sustainability.
The NRPA made this funding available to agencies that can provide services that meet the
purpose of the grant. The City of Santa Ana, Parks, Recreation and Community Services Agency
(PRCSA) applied to the NRPA for funding by proposing the City's Summer Day Camp program
that is offered during the summer break period. The program consists of theme -based activities,
health/fitness, excursions, recreation swim, games and sports, which is offered to youths from
kindergarten to sixth grade. Also proposed in the application is the City's Afterschool Adventures

The City was awarded $25,000 by the NRPA for its proposal.
