The Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) is a federal child nutrition program available to help child care centers and home-based providers serve nutritious meals in their programs. Providers who participate in the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) receive federal reimbursement for breakfast, lunch, snack and supper meals.
Licensed Child Care Centers in Philadelphia who actively participate in CACFP can apply for one-time grants of $5,000 for their meal program. Grants may be used to support a variety of needs connected to operating a CACFP meal program, including kitchen equipment (such as deep freezers or refrigerators), the cost of food, and labor for preparing and serving meals.
Applications will be available on June 8, 2022 and due on June 30, 2022. Interested applicants should review the FAQ and apply here.
