The Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) plays a vital role in improving the quality of daycare and making it more affordable for many low-income families.
CACFP serves nutritious meals and snacks to eligible children and adults who are enrolled for care at participating childcare centers, daycare homes, and adult daycare centers. CACFP also provides meals to children residing in emergency shelters, and snacks to youths participating in after-school care programs.
CACFP APPLICATION is available year-round
