Family Child Care
As part of the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP), family child care homes may receive reimbursement for meals and snacks that comply with USDA nutrition standards and meal patterns. Family child care homes must work with a sponsoring organization in order to participate in the CACFP. Sponsoring agencies will provide Family Child Care centers with training, monitoring, and technical assistance.
Family Child Care Providers: Review the Sponsoring Agency contact information.
Emergency SheltersThe Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) can be an important resource to emergency shelters that provide residential and food services to children experiencing homelessness. Emergency shelters receive the highest rates of payment for serving meals, which meet Federal nutritional guidelines, to eligible children. Residents 18 and younger who receive their meals at an emergency shelter are automatically eligible for free meals. There are no application forms for families to fill out.
