Kathy Hagan, Director of Family Child Care Homes/Unaffiliated Centers Food Program
National CACFP Week is March 12-18, 2023! What is CACFP week? It’s a national education and information campaign the third week of March sponsored annually by the National CACFP Sponsors Association. It’s designed to help get the word out about the USDA’s Child & Adult Food Program works to combat hunger. Central Kentucky Community Action Council is a proud CACFP Sponsor for 21 Family Child Care Homes (FCCH) and 24 Unaffiliated Centers (UC). One FCCH closed as of March 1, 2023 due to retirement of the home care provider and we recently had two UC join us, one beginning mid-February and the other at the beginning of March 2023.
Please join us as we participate with the National CACFP Sponsors Association in getting the word out about CACFP especially during National CACFP Week March 12-18, 2023! If you know of a Family Child Care Home and/or Day Care Center who is not currently participating in the food program and would like more information, please have them contact CKCAC’s FCCH/UC Director Kathy Hagan at 270-692-2136 X501.
