Child and Adult Care Food Program

The Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) is a federal initiative that provides nutritious meals and snacks to children and adults in childcare settings, such as daycare centers, adult day care, and family childcare homes. Its goal is to promote healthy eating habits and ensure proper nutrition for vulnerable populations. The program offers financial assistance to program providers, helping them serve balanced meals that meet nutritional standards. By supporting quality caregiving environments, CACFP helps improve health outcomes and developmental growth for participants.
