Welcome to the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) history

General | Guidance| Forms | ADC Forms | Posters | Presentations|

 

The Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) provides nutritious meals to participants enrolled in child care centers, day care homes, and adult care centers.  It give young children a chance to try many different types of foods and helps teach them how to choose foods that are good for them.

 Through the CACFP the federal government helps certain kinds of organizations and facilities pay for nutritious meals they serve to participants.  The program is available to: public and private nonprofit organizations providing licensed nonresidential day care services, (such as day care centers, centers that care for school-age children when they are not in school, day care homes [homes licensed/approved to care for up to 12 children], institutions providing day care for disabled children, and adult care centers), private for-profit centers, and other meeting program regulations

 Child care centers, outside-school hours centers, and adult care centers can participate in the CACFP either independently or through a sponsoring organization that accepts full administrative and financial responsibility for the program.   Day care homes must participate through a sponsoring organization; they cannot enter the CACFP directly
