Child & Adult Care Food Program (CACFP)

What Is CACFP?

CACFP provides reimbursement for nutritious meals and snacks to registered child care providers.  In-home childcare providers living in Cherokee, Ida, Plymouth and Woodbury County that are currently registered with the Department of Human Services are eligible to participate in this program and will also receive nutrition education. Funding for this program is from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. We work with over 70 in-home daycare providers serving more than 800 children annually.

If you are a registered daycare and would like more information on CACFP, please contact Julie at (712) 274-1610 ext. 212
