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
