Oregon Department of Education Publishes List of Organizations Operating the Child and Adult Care Food Program
(Salem, OR) - The Oregon Department of Education Child Nutrition Programs (ODE CNP) published newly updated lists of Pricing and Non-Pricing Sponsors that participate in the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP).
The CACFP, funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) provides nutritious meals to infants, children, and adults.
Pricing Programs:
Under the CACFP, centers that charge for meals are referred to as “pricing programs.” Free or reduced price meals are available to children meeting the approved eligibility criteria at pricing program centers.
Each enrolled participant’s family household income determines the amount of money the center will charge for meals and the amount of money the USDA will reimburse to the center for the meals and snacks provided. The income eligibility guidelines listed below are used to determine the center’s reimbursement from USDA. Centers with enrolled individuals from households whose monthly income is at or below these levels receive more reimbursement for the nutritious meals served to those participating.
For a list of pricing programs that charge for meals and receive federal reimbursement for serving meals to participants, please visit the Oregon Department of Education Child and Adult Care Food Program webpage. The list may be found under the Important Resources heading.
Non-Pricing Programs:
Under the CACFP, non-pricing programs provide meals to all individuals enrolled at no charge.
Each enrolled participant’s family household income determines the amount of money the USDA will reimburse to the center for the meals and snacks provided. The income eligibility guidelines listed below are used to determine the center’s reimbursement from USDA. Centers with enrolled individuals from households whose monthly income is at or below these levels receive more reimbursement for the nutritious meals served to those participating.
For a list of non-pricing programs that receive federal reimbursement for serving meals to participants, please visit the Oregon Department of Education Child and Adult Care Food Program webpage. The list may be found under the Important Resources heading.
INCOME ELIGIBILITY GUIDELINES
Participants who receive Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) or are Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) households are automatically eligible to receive free meals. Adult Day Care participants who are SSI or Medicaid participants are automatically eligible to receive free meal benefits.
