Nourishing the Future
As a leader in the fight to end childhood hunger, Child Care Resources knows that a key strategy to combating hunger and food insecurity is to increase participation in federal nutrition programs. The USDA Child & Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) and the Summer Food Service Program are vitally important because they provide daycares and after-school programs funding for daily nutritious meals. But it takes a sponsor, or a direct contract with the State, to obtain these funds. Child Care Resources has been a sponsoring organization since 1992.
If you choose to go with a sponsor, Child Care Resources will train you on all the details of the food program, including what foods to serve at each meal, how to do your paperwork, and more. We will walk you through the application process and have fast-track approval. Once your center is up and running on the program, we are there to check your paperwork and to help ensure your center receives the largest amount of reimbursement that it is entitled to.
