Community Childcare Food Supplement, Inc. is an Administrative Sponsor for Bright from the Start: Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning.  Participants in the USDA's Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) are entitled to receive monetary reimbursement for the food that they purchase to feed the children and adults in the daycare.  CACFP provides nutritious meals to more than 2.9 million children and 86,000 adults throughout the United States and is authorized at section 17 of the National School Lunch Act (42 U.S.C. 1766).  Program regulations are issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) under 7 CFR part 226.

USDA’s Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) administers CACFP through grants to States.  The program is administered within most States by the State educational agency. In a few States it is administered by an alternate agency, such as the State health or social services department. The child care component and the adult day care component of CACFP may be administered by different agencies within a State, at the discretion of the Governor.

Community Childcare Food Supplement, Inc. entered  into an agreement with Bright from the Start to assume administrative and financial responsibility for CACFP operations. CACFP serves nutritious meals and snacks to eligible children and adults who are enrolled for care at participating child care centers, day care homes, and adult day care centers.
