Good Nutrition Starts Early…and You Can Help!

The Planning Council sponsors the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) in Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia.  If you operate a childcare program, the Child and Adult Care Food Program helps you serve nutritious meals and snacks to children. With reimbursements and training, the CACFP makes quality childcare more affordable for many families.

This page includes various resources for current CACFP Providers, based on locality.
