Child and Adult Care Food Program
CACFP Week is March 13-19, 2022
|
|
Catholic Charities, as one of three Delaware sponsors of the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP), works to help licensed childcare homes and centers to serve healthy, nutritious meals to children in their care.
During National CACFP Week, March 13-19,2022, Catholic Charities joins with Delaware family childcare providers in acknowledging the many ways our community benefits from the CACFP.
Good nutrition is the recipe for an all-around happier child. Children that are cared for by providers participating in the CACFP benefit by being fed nutritious meals that ensure their proper development while gaining early nutrition education to help establish positive eating habits for a lifetime.
Parents are assured that their children receive high quality meals. With proper nutrition, the child is less likely to experience illness and fatigue and will develop at a normal physical and intellectual pace.
Providers receive nutrition education and support services from their CACFP sponsor that help them serve nutritious meals and create a positive eating environment for children. The quality of childcare provided in our community is improved due to educational and financial resources available to caregivers through the CACFP.
Catholic Charities CACFP program supports 223 home providers and 29 centers, serving more than 75,000 meals to over 3,100 children each month.
