Providers Child and Adult Care Food Program

Two out of three Sullivan County child care providers participate in Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP). If you
are one of these providers, thank you. By participating in CACFP you are helping the children in your care form good
eating habits – an important skill learned easiest during childhood.

If you are not one the current CACFP participants, CACFP offers technical assistance, food nutrition guidance, and
training hours that you can use towards your regulatory training requirement. The only additional paper work is daily menu

CACFP helps:

CACFP is a USDA funded program, sponsored by the NYS Department of Health, Division of Nutrition. The program’s goal is for children to develop good eating habits, improve their overall health and nutrition, and further educate children and adults on the importance of good nutrition.

CACFP is available under our sponsorship to family, group family and legally exempt child care providers. Schoolage and center based chid care can contact CACFP direclty at
