County grants at rates less than $0.25 per county senior will qualify providers for correspondingly smaller TDA grants. • If a county has multiple meal providers, the individual county qualifying grants will be totaled to determine the County's overall participation level. Counties that provide homebound meal delivery services may also apply directly to TDA as providers. The Role of the Meal Providers A nonprofit or governmental agency that delivers meals to homebound elderly or disabled individuals is eligible to apply for a grant through the Home-Delivered Meal Grant Program. In order for providers to qualify, they must first receive a grant from their local county. The Role of the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) TDA staff will work with meal providers and their counties to ensure all qualified applicants receive funding through this program.
