Child Nutrition News newsletter from Hunger Solutions New York focused on child nutrition programs and policy.

Provider Appreciation Day is May 8

 

Provider Appreciation Day is an annual day of recognition for the educators who teach and care for young children in childcare homes and centers. This Provider Appreciation Day, join us in saying #ThankYouChildcare as we celebrate the thousands of providers who nourish New York’s children through the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP).

CACFP is a federal program that reimburses eligible childcare and afterschool programs that serve healthy meals and snacks to kids in their care. Hunger Solutions New York provides tools, resources, and one-on-one guidance to help more programs participate in CACFP. Many programs are eligible for CACFP but are not participating. Provider Appreciation Day is a timely opportunity to raise awareness about CACFP and connect providers to our resources.

 

CACFP in Action

Hear directly from providers about how CACFP supports their programs. Read stories from Jessica's Daycare, A Child's Place, and The Academy for Young Scholars.

Share Your CACFP Story

Hearing from peers is one of the most effective ways to help eligible but unenrolled providers understand the value CACFP adds to a program. If you participate in CACFP, please consider sharing your story. Hunger Solutions New York may contact you to share it on our website and in other communications.
