USDA Child and Adult Care Food Program


Did you know you can be reimbursed for the food you purchase for your daycare ?

The U.S. Department of Agriculture provides funding for child care facilities that participate on the USDA Child and Adult Care Food Program. This federal program was established in 1968 to help childcare providers feed nutritious meals to the children in their care. Our organization, Southwest Human Development Services, is a non-profit sponsor of the Program.

Last year, the USDA provided $1.8 billion dollars for meals in child care facilities. Child Care Providers are always better off financially if the join the Program. Food costs are the highest operating expense for child care providers and the Program helps offset those costs. With a childcare provider feeding 6 children on the Program, the monthly reimbursement check averages $ 500 a month. In many cases, the childcare provider’s own children are eligible for federal child nutrition benefits.


They also provide free software to manage your child care business. You can also use this system for online claiming for the food program.
