Child and Adult Food Care Program plays an important role in the non-profit’s hunger relief programming for kids
San Diego CA—This school year, Feeding San Diego—the county’s leading hunger-relief and food rescue organization—is supporting youth in need through the Child and Adult Food Care Program (CACFP), a critical part of its hunger-relief services across San Diego County. The CACFP program helps meet children’s needs after school by providing free and nutritious snacks at accessible sites throughout San Diego County. This is a federal program that provides reimbursements for these nutritious meals and snacks.
At the youth meal sites hosted by Feeding San Diego, children aged 1-18 can receive a free snack and or supper Monday through Friday. Feeding San Diego and its CACFP sites work in tandem to provide nutritious meals and after school enrichment activities. In addition to its regular and emergency food distributions, the following is a list of Feeding San Diego’s 2021 CACFP sites:
