How CACFP Helps Us Make a Difference
At the Bob Burdette Center, we are committed to supporting our students in every way we can. One way we do this is by providing a meal and a snack to them every day. To help us provide food for our students, we participate in a program called the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP). The CACFP is part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food and Nutrition Service. The program provides reimbursement for nutritious meals and snacks for children and adults enrolled in participating care programs. The CACFP helps us keep our afterschool and summer programs free. More importantly, their guidelines ensure that we provide nutritious meals and snacks for the students in our care.
The CACFP promotes healthy eating and positive relationships with food. We are proud to work with this program as part of our mission to care for and strengthen the children we serve every day at the Bob Burdette Center.
