This memorandum clarifies that, while use of CACFP monitors to review licensing requirements is permitted and may be beneficial, it may not be required by State agencies and is not an allowable use of CACFP funds.
This memorandum is intended to highlight flexibilities that already exist at the state level to simplify and improve the delivery of nutrition assistance to low-income children and adult participants through the CACFP.
Make an investment in the children in your community! If your organization already provides services to the community and has capable staff and good management practices to run a food service, you can administer SFSP.
This Act extends these simplified SFSP procedures to all sponsors in all states.
Providing snacks for after school programs is a great opportunity to help students practice healthy eating and help adults promote a healthy eating environment. You will be able to strengthen the role of FNS as a partner in education as well as health.
