CACFP & SFSP
The Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) is a federally funded program which is administered and funded by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Food and Nutrition Service (FNS). The purpose of the program is to ensure that eligible children and adults who attend qualifying non-residential care facilities receive nutritious meals.
The Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) ensures that low-income children continue to receive nutritious meals when school is not in session. This summer, USDA plans to serve more than 200 million free meals to children 18 years and under at approved SFSP sites.
We work with other partners to offer these types of services year round.
We care about our homeless and families needing food. There is great need right in our own communities to feed families. We partner with Faith, Hope and Love Ministries in Gastonia for daily feeding as well we are out in the communities. Many local food establishments assist to ensure we have enough to help feed everyone. If there is a need, we will get it met!
