ODE Publishes List of Organizations Offering Nutritious Meals To Oregonians Through The Child and Adult Care Food Program
About 570 centers and 1,164 child care providers around the state will provide meals through the CACFP this year.
(Salem, OR) – The Oregon Department of Education (ODE) has released the Federal Fiscal Year 2025 list of centers and homes participating in the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP).
Funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the CACFP ensures that infants, children, and adults enrolled in local programs receive nutritious meals. This year, approximately 570 centers and 1,164 child care providers across the state will be offering meals through the CACFP.
The lists of centers and homes that serve meals to participants are available on the Oregon Department of Education Child and Adult Care Food Program webpage under the Resources heading. They are refreshed weekly as new organizations join the CACFP.
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.
Non-Pricing Programs:
Under the CACFP, non-pricing programs and homes 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 the center or home for the meals and snacks provided. The income eligibility guidelines listed below are used to determine the center’s reimbursement from USDA. Centers and homes 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.

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.
