10 Cents a Meal for Michigan’s Kids and Farms (10 Cents) is a state-funded program that matches what schools and childcare sites spend on Michigan-grown fruits, vegetables, and legumes with grants of up to 10 cents per meal. The goals of the program are to improve daily nutrition and eating habits for Michigan’s children and invest in Michigan’s agriculture and local food business economy.

This report uses 10 Cents data from SY2020-21 to describe the purchase and use of legumes - including dry beans - by the 143 grantees.
