Child & Adult Care Food Program
St. Vincent de Paul administers a U.S. Department of Agriculture Child Care Food Program (CACFP) designed to provide children in day care with nutritious food on a regular basis. For many children, these meals are a primary source of the nutrition they need to grow strong and healthy.We work with both in-home daycare providers, as well as daycare centers, to ensure they offer meals and snacks that provide the vitamins and minerals children need. To help these providers afford to provide healthy meals, while still charging reasonable rates for child care, the Child Care Food Program reimburses providers for the cost of the food.To participate in the Child Care Food Program, a daycare provider must be licensed, serve meals and snacks that meet USDA guidelines, and maintain good records.For more information about the Child Care Food Program (CCFP), please contact the Program Director, Katie Simmons at 208-664-2562 or by email at katie@stvincentdepaulcda.org. The CCFP office is located in the H.E.L.P. Center 201 E Harrison, Coeur d’Alene.
