The Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP)

The Background

The CACFP is the sister program to the Free and Reduced School Lunch Program and has been providing meals through a variety of programs since 1968. These programs include Family Child Care Homes, Child Care Centers, Emergency Shelters, Afterschool Programs, and Adult Daycare Programs.  CACFP reimburses adult daycare and childcare centers at free, reduced-price, or paid rates for eligible meals and snacks served to eligible, targeting benefits to those children and seniors most in need.  Emergency shelters and afterschool programs are reimbursed at the free rate.


Funds are available from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) who contracts with state agencies to administer the program.  The program is operated in Minnesota through the Division of Nutrition, Health and Youth Development at the Minnesota Department of Education.


Eligible nonprofit organizations partner with the Minnesota Department of Education to sponsor unaffiliated sites participation in the CACFP.  FEEDING OUR FUTURE is an approved sponsor that makes CACFP participation easy.
