The Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) is an extension of the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and is regulated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). This program allows organizations like ACR to serve free, nutritious meals and snacks to children in afterschool programs.
At Affordable Community Resources, we proudly use CACFP to ensure children continue to receive healthy food after the school bell rings—supporting both their academic success and physical well-being.
