What types of facilities provide CACFP benefits?
Child Care Centers. Public or private nonprofit child care centers, Head Start programs, and some for-profit centers which are licensed or approved to provide day care may serve meals and snacks to infants and children through CACFP. Afterschool care programs in low-income areas can participate in CACFP by providing free snacks to school-aged children and youths through age 18. Reimbursable suppers are also available to children in eligible afterschool care programs in seven States–Delaware, Illinois, Michigan, Missouri, New York, Oregon, and Pennsylvania. Family Day Care Homes. CACFP provides reimbursement for meals and snacks served to small groups of children receiving nonresidential day care in licensed or approved private homes. A family or group day care home must sign an agreement with a sponsoring organization to participate in CACFP. The sponsoring organization organizes training, conducts monitoring, and helps with planning menus and filling out reimbursement forms. Homeless
