Do you know of a Kentucky Child Care Home or Center that recently opened or that has been in business for a while and is not currently taking advantage of the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP)? If so, please have them contact our Child and Adult Care Food Program Director Kathy Hagan at kathy.hagan@ckcac.org or by calling 270-402-1977 for more information.

Let our Child Care Nutrition Program help your Day Care Home or Child Care Center by:

·        Helping you determine your CACFP eligibility, complete the necessary paperwork, and submitting your application to the State Agency on your behalf as your Sponsor.

·        Providing nutritional education on what food components are necessary for a well-rounded, healthy meal.

·        Reviewing your monthly reports for accuracy prior to submitting them to the State Agency.

·        Providing monthly food cost reimbursements based on how many meals are served and the eligibility of the children being served.

·        Being your primary source for any nutritional questions and/or food-related issues for children in your care.

With rising food costs, now’s the time for all eligible Kentucky Child Care Homes and Centers to participate in the CACFP. Let Central Kentucky Community Action help you apply for the CACFP as your sponsor today!
