The Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) is a federal initiative that provides nutritious meals and snacks to children and adults in care settings. By aligning with CACFP guidelines, Nutrition One ensures that care programs can serve healthy, balanced meals while qualifying for federal reimbursements.

What is CACFP?

The Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) is a federal initiative designed to provide nutritious meals and snacks to children and adults in care settings. Established by the USDA, CACFP reimburses organizations for serving balanced meals and snacks to children and adults in qualifying care programs. This program plays a critical role in providing affordable nutrition to child centers and homes, after school programs, adult daycares, and emergency shelters.
