Funded by the United States Department of Agriculture and the Health and Human Services Commission, the Child and Adult Care Food Program ensures that children attending family child care homes receive nutritious meals and snacks.

- Offers nutrition education to assist with menu planning, proper sanitation, and record keeping.
- Provides sample menus or will custom plan menus, if desired.
- Offers workshops and in-home visits conducted by friendly, well-trained staff.
- Provides information about tax benefits for family day home providers.
