The Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) provides reimbursement for nutritious meals and snacks served to eligible children in child care centers, family day care homes, as well as to eligible adults in adult care centers.

  • Children of migrant workers in child care centers, family day care homes, or other early education facilities through age 15.
  • Physically and mentally disabled persons receiving care in a center where most children are 18 years old and under.
